So we know from recent history that the US Justice Department thinks accessing a computer network without authorization is worth 35 years in prison.

I was going to pose the question what the over / under line would be on charges for those members of the CIA who did this but then I realized that it would be a silly question. When it comes to the US Government the corollary of too big to fail is too powerful to jail.
