Title 50 USC, Sec 421

1. The suspect had to have had access to classified information that identifies a covert agent, or resulted in the suspect learning the identity of a covert agent.

2. The suspect had to have intentionally disclosed the identity, or information that disclosed the identity, of the covert agent.

3. The person to whom the suspect disclosed the identity was not authorized to receive the information.

4. The suspect knew that the information he disclosed identified the covert agent.

5. The suspect knew that the government was actively trying to conceal the covert agent's relationship with the government.

Now, that's a pretty steep burden of proof. If any of the five elements are missing, then there's no Sec 421 violation. And, it also requires that you prove the suspect knew a great many specific things. Proving what a person knew at a specific point in time can be a little difficult.
