In answer to the title of this thread... I don't know for sure about the leaning leftist tower of the Times, but I strongly believe that who, or whomever LEAKED classified stuff to them has violated the act and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible.

Of course these days, then, the Times will cover the story of the prosecution with snearing and smearing of the law enforcers, constantly dissing and putting down any hostility expressed toward these acts as nefarious silliness by those concerned with winning a war and keeping the secrets necessary to do so!!!

You all know how it goes... I'm certainly not revealing any great paramount revelations at this moment!!!

I'll be surprised if the NYT suffers real punishment for any violation of the Espionage Act. They have always been handled with kid gloves by our hack politicians who continue to live in constant fear of the power of the MSM.
