False. Under this opinion, simply calling reporters and saying, in a 90 second call, "go find out what I did" you go to prison.
According the public record it's not clear that FBI ever even got the metadata from their first suspect.

I am not sure if you are arguing "more people should be punished" or "it could be anyone, so punish no one"?

Arguing absent actual evidence of transmission of classified info & 3 other poss suspects & facts Sterling may not have had=reasonable doubt

Are you arguing the standard in this country isn't supposed to be reasonable doubt?

Or are you arguing, we need a head and Sterling is the most likely one so chop that one off?

I think we both know when you are given access to classified materials you give up some of the freedoms your fellow citizens have.

That's a straw man. You don't give up the freedom to have non-classified conversations.

You dont, but if a reporter you are having non-classified conversations with writes a book with classified information you are screwed.
-
Yes. This establishes standard that providing unclassified tips is sufficient to send you to prison. I find that utterly objectionable.

Moreover, there are actually details that were leaked that it's not clear Sterling knew. Again, this is evidence presented at trial.
