Let me ask you Road Runner, is the Washington Post or any other newspaper who willing receives confidential information pertaining to there government exempt from prosecution?
The reporters who received the leaks will be asked for their sources.
If they refuse to name them, they can be jailed.
If deemed a matter of national security, the Post can be shuttered until further notice by order of the President.
Same with the NY Times.
No Republican President has the guts to do so until now.
