Which is true of basically any company too. They’re not secure because all it takes is a trusted person to go rogue.
That's right, which is exactly why we have hefty consequences when someone does it. What would you suggest be an alternative? Have no secrets? Give medals to leakers?
That you hear about one instance of elaborate leaking means small leaks happen for profit on a much larger scale.
Have people request access with a case number and a why, do grant access but log what they are accessing and have triggers on it.
Secrets are for the weak.

That second link is not evidence that they planted it. It's evidence of them using illegal means to discover it. These are not the same thing. Faking probable cause to search your car is not evidence that they planted drugs.
Same as being exonerated for a wrongful conviction. It doesn't mean you didn't actually commit the crime and should let a wrongfully-convicted pedophile manage your daycare center. You really need to dig deeper than the headline to know what was wrongful about the conviction-- the actual offender later being caught is not the same as a procedural error by the prosecutor.
Given that possession isn't the only charge for Schulte, it wasn't planted. None of this was even necessary to make the case; they could easily have dropped these charges.

Leakers continue to leak because the majority of the u.s. population believe their government is corrupt and deserves to be exposed. Said government would produce better outcomes by not continually proving their corruption. Federal corruption is concrete history, it's there on Wikipedia to read, but only the allowed parts.
It's a big club, you ain't in it, and theyre deciding your life for you.
