Our Top Notch Intelligence

The F.B.I. secretly arrested a National Security Agency contractor [ — who like Mr. Snowden worked for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton, which is responsible for building and operating many of the agency’s most sensitive cyberoperations — ] in recent weeks and is investigating whether he stole and disclosed highly classified computer codes developed to hack into the networks of foreign governments [including adversaries like Russia, China, Iran and North Korea], according to several senior law enforcement and intelligence officials.

The theft raises the embarrassing prospect that for the second time in three years an insider has managed to steal highly damaging secret information from the N.S.A.

  NYT
Yeah, he's fucked.

Criminal complaint and arrest warrant for Harold Thomas Martin III

There is no indication Martin did anything with any of the information he was found to have in his possession at his home and in his vehicle.  It was illegal for him to take it off site.  One can only assume he had plans, but there's no charge other than illegal possession.  At this point.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
