The criminals are those that provide her with classified information.

No, reporters who pass on classified information that they are not entitled to have (meaning everything) are guilty of a crime. The Supreme Court in the Pentagon Papers case specifically reaffirmed that position, but said the government couldn’t prosecute them for merely having the material and they couldn’t stop them from publishing it (prior restraint). It was the act of passing it to others (in the form of an article) that would be a crime. She did that. She’s a criminal and should be prosecuted as such.

Yup. I’d like to see more busts along this line...time to raid the homes of some civilian employees and military officers that are leaking.
