Florida venture capitalist Michael Shvartsman and his brother Gerald Shvartsman pleaded guilty on Wednesday to participating in an insider trading scheme linked to the blockbuster deal that brought former President Donald Trump’s social media business public.
Oh, I understand how much more egregious Trump’s crimes were, but the reality is we’ve had a history of elected officials playing fast and loose with classified information, but it’s usually handwaved away for people in positions of power. Sure, it can be argued in the past these people made mistakes and gave the documents back because there wasn’t ill intent.
The problem is that’s still a different level of scrutiny than the average person is put under for similar mistakes.
A low-level Army security jockey’s life could be ruined by making mistakes with these documents, but when it comes to elected officials, they can make as many mistakes as they need, and its always forgiven. This differing attitude toward the elite is part of why they refuse to go after Trump seriously, despite how egregious his crimes have been.

That’s of course a possibility, but really not how it works. When there’s a data breach at any level, they really do look at intent. If a low level person makes an honest mistake, as long as they weren’t being negligently careless, they’re most likely going to get a warning. If it happens again, yeah, they’re not likely going to be able to keep their access.
Data leaks do happen, and they happen without ending peoples’ careers. That’s much different from actual espionage.
