alt Hacker NewsYou've misunderstood the parent. They're saying watch out what happens to anyone in the Journalist's book who did not share classified information.
You seriously think this administration is going to get a list of 1,200 government employees who are (legally) informing reporters of the goings-on and just... Let it go? Those people are about to get punished.
And since we're at the point of an unaccountable, unidentifiable Gestapo going door-to-door and arresting / murdering citizens openly in the streets...
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.
