In the story from the Washington Post found here, https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/daniel-hale-drone-leak-sentence/2021/07/27/7bb46dd6-ee14-11eb-bf80-e3877d9c5f06_story.html

it states: “You are not being prosecuted for speaking out about the drone program killing innocent people,” O’Grady said. “You could have been a whistleblower . . . without taking any of these documents.”

Yeah, he could have, and would have been called a conspiracy theorist and that would have ended it. The documents proved what he was claiming was true and THAT is the only reason they were classified.....so the public would never know.

Gotta love how the USA is free to kill innocents whenever they want, for whatever reason they want, and there's nothing that will happen to those that give the green-light to do so!
