The director of the CIA sending sexts (and as it later turned out, classified materials) to his mistress.

He was fired the day after it reached Obama's desk, and eventually got a slap on the wrist and two years' probation.



Thanks for the link! It looks like this affair over webmail sparked a lot of investigation and resulted in a firing, two years probation, and a $100,000 fine. That sounds like a great start for this kind of thing and they were just talking dirty, not actively sharing mission details!

Overall, yes let's please investigate and appropriately punish wrongdoing at all levels.
