c2, let me check my understanding -

If I know of a covert agent's id because I have access to classified information, it's a crime if I make it public or even tell someone who's not supposed to know.

But if I know of a covert agent's id because someone else who had access to classified information told me, then he's committed a crime, but I cannot commit a crime even if I publish the information.

Right?

So wouldn't it all depend if Novak's leakers had authorized access to the information? Not that we'll ever know, of course. If it was an open secret, then hundreds of people could have told Novak about it.
