WASHINGTON ― A 30-year-old former CIA employee who the federal government suspects of ― but has not charged with ― giving a massive trove of agency documents to WikiLeaks is also facing charges in Virginia, where hes accused of snapping photos as he sexually assaulted a passed-out friend as she lay on the floor of his bathroom.
Joshua Adam Schulte was arrested in August on federal child pornography charges, but it wasnt until Tuesday that The Washington Post and The New York Times reported the government was interested in Schulte because it suspected him of providing WikiLeaks with thousands of documents on the CIAs hacking operations. The Vault 7 leak, published in March 2017, was the largest loss of classified documents in CIA history. Schultes Manhattan apartment was searched one week after it was published.
The government still hasnt brought a case against Schulte in connection with WikiLeaks publication of the documents. Instead, they charged Schulte in August with child pornography over videos found on an encrypted computer server he started back in 2009 when he was in college. His lawyers have said that dozens of people had access to that server.
The FBI also sent along photos they obtained from one of Schultes phones to prosecutors in Loudoun County, where he lived when he worked for the CIA. The photos, taken in April 2015, show a woman passed out on the floor of his bathroom and being sexually assaulted. The unnamed woman has been referred to as Schultes friend and former roommate.

Evidently a fan of Ayn Rand, hes also begun writing lengthy, pseudonymous essays about the injustices of the federal criminal system for 'John Galts Legal Defense Fund,' according to the Post and the Times. The Facebook page, a reference to the hero of Atlas Shrugged, had just two likes as of Tuesday."

(7,394 posts)They don't believe in government or community or basic decency. Declaring oneself a libertarian is the ultimate solipsism, and clearly a dangerous belief for any classified or sensitive role. It's just an obviously smart thing to keep them out.
