I understand the current law is, it's illegal to give out classified information, but it's not illegal to receive it. I'm still googling to double-check myself.

Well, lets see. Classified information has to be stolen in order for it to be given to someone that is not authorized to have it actually gets it. Posession of stolen property was a crime last time I checked. When a crime has been committed there is no such thing as immunity for journalists. It is time this is called what it is. A Crime. It is also time it is prosecuted for what it is. A crime.
