’Freedom of Speech’ is the right to share & express your thoughts and opinions. It has nothing to do with ‘Freedom of Information’.

Both true and not true at the same time. I cba to find the Supreme Court case dealing with this right now (I might later) but “freedom of speech” can encompbum non-verbal expression. So it could be argued that by leaking information he was expressing his opinion that such information should be publicly available. Yes, this is convoluted and possibly even very special, but it’s hard not to bring up convoluted/very special counter arguments when dealing with law.

And again, I am not expressing my personal opinion in any way, only stating what little facts I know. I’m most interested in how bumange is going to be dealt with. And maybe more importantly how they’re going to defend whatever consequences he faces, since we have amendments and laws both defending and condemning what he’s done.
