its pretty clear, even from the journalist's quote, that some of the things they informed her about was not done legally (classified information).

Now is overclassification a problem too, yes but that's bureaucracy.

You are responding to a thread with the exact quotes:

> But also note the government is punishing people for legal acts as well.

...

> so watch what happens to sources that didn’t do anything illegal.

So we, in this thread, are talking about what happens to the majority of her sources that are NOT sharing confidential information or committing any crime.
