 The Atlantic on Wednesday published additional messages Trump
administration officials sent in a Signal group chat that
inadvertently included the magazine's editor-in-chief Jeffrey
Goldberg.
 Why it matters: President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and
other administration officials strongly denied that "war plans" and
"classified materials" were shared -- essentially daring The Atlantic
to publish info it had previously opted not to release.

Publishing classified national security information, regardless of how it was obtained, should be a criminal offense and one that is punished severely. The courts have previously ruled that these rats have the right, but it certainly isn't right.

Didn't Snowden face certain difficulties after publishing? I would expect the person leaking this might face similar difficulties.
