Aren't you arguing against a straw man here? It seems that you can't address the concerns of the comment and are instead saying obvious truths as if that is somehow counter to the person you replied to.

I didn't intend to. When he said "But also note the government is punishing people for legal acts as well." I read this as "the government is breaking the law"

I think instead what that poster meant is was "people who didn't share classified information will be targeted and prosecuted as well."

So, apologies for misunderstanding.
