Recklessness is the default degree of culpability where codes fail to identify a level of culpability (requisite mens rea). Otherwise the crimes are strict liability, which is typically unconscionable. I do think they were reckless and want to see them in jail.

Intent is NOT AN ELEMENT OF THE SECURITY VIOLATIONS STATUTE.
Comey has pulled this crap before, and Gowdy (correctly) called him on it.

And uh, if you let us read more of them, we know how to find some "intent" for you.
We also remember what the word justice means.
