Willingly and knowingly helping the enemy isn't legal. They were told it would help the enemy if they published.

That is not sufficient grounds to make an act illegal, or the Administration (or any administration) could claim that any number of things it dislikes "help the enemy" in some indirect way and ban them. For an action to be banned, it would generally have to directly endanger American lives (e.g., compromise encryption codes, allowing the enemy to discover American agents).

And any media could say it doesn't. You wanna argue while citizens die? Who says what's secret? The government. That's why you have elections.

No illegalilty, no value to the public to publish, no government scandal, just your elected officials saying, "Don't help the enemy." and a newspaper not caring.

Primae facia treason.
