They take the man’s entire life away because he revealed us terrible things our non-elected leaders are doing to us.

And for possessing child porn...

Furman said Schulte continued his crimes from behind bars by trying to leak more classified materials and by creating a hidden file on his computer that contained 2,400 images of child sexual abuse that he continued to view from jail.

Holy crap, dude was even watching child porn in prison. Clearly the CIA is hiring the cream of the crop.
