Heck, what about when they printed Trumps stolen tax returns. That's OK, I guess, but Wikileaks documents are totally out of line?
Don’t forget the Grand Daddy of all leaks... the top-secret Pentagon Papers stolen by a Communist sympathizer inside our government and, sent to NY Times which gleefully published them.
“So when the NY Times printed that classified material from the Bush administration, was it illegal to buy the newspaper?”
It certainly was if you were in the military or were a contractor to them. I recall having a briefing about that during those times. The UCMJ and the JAG can be a real ‘bitch’ at times.
