Doesn't seem nearly severe enough.
I don't know, seems a little harsh to me. I mean, I know a guy that sold secrets to anyone who complimented him and he got to be president.
It's pretty severe considering a fat orange pedo sells everything not nailed down to Russia and is somehow still in the Whitehouse.
While he's in the white house.
I was watching something the other day, apparently spies aren't so direct they do things a common scammer would do, Like offer a reporting job and have them write papers for a supposed news article and they just happen to be national secrets they get paid a lot of a money so it is still selling secrets but not enough to be absolutely absurd. You wouldn't want someone in prison for the rest of their lives for a bout of incompetent.
Makes sense that it would evolve in the way online scams have
It seems way too harsh. Shit, I’m American, and if I was in his position, I would have done the same. I got zero loyalty any state, let alone to a government that treats people the way the terrorist government of the US does.
