“WaPo shares classified docs with its readers = the American people have a right to know!”
Well, yeah, that’s the 1st Amendment for you. Once the intel is “in the wild”, journalists are free to publish it. And you are free to republish it, as you are doing right here in this thread.
According to WaPo, this particular classified info has not been publicly reported.
Did WaPo get copies of the classified docs from the “intel community” or from the discord server?
WaPo doesn’t say, and given their history of leaking whatever secrets the intel community wants them to, I would bet it’s more likely the former.
This information isn’t from the Discourse intelligence but do go ahead and lie, Biden/Zelensky Troll.
I'm pretty sure that isn't true.
Classified information remains classified until it is unclassified. When the Wikileaks thing happened classified material appeared in newspapers and on TV. The federal government notified employees with an active clearance that they were not allowed to read anything from Wikileaks unless they had a real Need To Know. This was fairly silly since it all all just "out there". But the policy is that classified material remains classified until it isn't classified and you don't access such stuff unless you have a Need to Know.
Of course it's a game, and the Powers That Be simply choose not to prosecute newspapers because it's bad publicity. But that doesn't mean the newspapers aren't breaking the law.
