Former CIA employee's conviction confirmed after largest theft of top-secret information in agency's history
Schulte faces a second trial for child pornography on Sept. 11

A U.S. judge on Tuesday threw out an obstruction charge but mostly upheld the conviction of a former Central Intelligence Agency software engineer for carrying out the largest theft of classified information in the agency's history.
Joshua Schulte, 34, was convicted in July 2022 on four counts each of espionage and computer hacking and one count of lying to FBI agents, after giving classified materials to WikiLeaks in the so-called Vault 7 leak.
WikiLeaks in March 2017 began publishing the materials, which concerned how the CIA surveilled foreign governments, alleged terrorists and others by compromising their electronics and computer networks.
Following the conviction, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams in Manhattan called the theft "one of the most brazen and damaging acts of espionage in American history."
n a 14-page decision, U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan found "more than sufficient" evidence to support Schulte's espionage and hacking convictions.
But he said Schulte's alleged lies to the FBI agents did not support the obstruction charge.
The judge found "no meaningful distinction" between Schulte's case and a 1995 Supreme Court decision, U.S. v. Aguilar, reaching the same conclusion.
"At best," Furman wrote, "the government proved that Schulte, knowing of the existence of a federal grand jury investigation, lied to federal investigators regarding issues pertinent to the grand jury's investigation. Under Aguilar, that does not suffice."Schulte represented himself at trial and in seeking to overturn his conviction. An earlier trial ended in a mistrial when jurors deadlocked.
Prosecutors have said Schulte was motivated to leak materials out of spite over how he thought the CIA treated him prior to his November 2016 resignation.
Schulte is being jailed at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center.
He faces a second trial beginning on Sept. 11 for allegedly receiving more than 10,000 images and videos of child pornography.
Prosecutors said they found the material in Schulte's Manhattan apartment, in an encrypted container beneath three layers of password protection, during the CIA leaks probe.
A lawyer representing Schulte in that case did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Williams' office declined to comment.
The case is U.S. v. Schulte, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 17-cr-00548.
No. 17-cr-00548

LFG!
Yes
a CIA agent working w NSA?
According to former classmates, Schulte was infamous for drawing swastikas around school and in the yearbook of a Jewish student.[2] Some former students recalled Schulte exposing his genitals and trying to touch others or get them to touch him.[2] On one occasion, he and some of his friends got in trouble for trying to put their hands into the pants of a sleeping female student on a bus during a field trip.[2]
Schulte graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2011 with a degree in computer engineering.[2] While studying at the University of Texas, he began an internship for IBM.[2]
Career
From January 2010 to May 2010, Schulte was employed as a systems engineer by the National Security Agency (NSA), including time spent within the Technology Directorate.[2][8] According to his LinkedIn profile, he began working for the CIA in May 2010 and was "employed within the National Clandestine Service (NCS) as a Directorate of Science and Technology (DS&T) Intelligence Officer."[9] After his arrest, it was revealed he had been a software engineer at the classified Operations Support Branch (OSB) at a secret CIA cyber facility in Virginia.[2] The OSB built "quick-reaction tools" based on ideas and prototypes for almost immediate use in missions. After Schulte showed his skills as a programmer, he was made a system administrator for the CIA's developer network, Devlan, in 2015. This gave him access to the network storing the source for OSB projects, and he could control who else had access.[2]
