The Espionage Act isn't a national security law. It's a state monopoly on information, enforced by prison. Thomas Drake exposed .2B in taxpayer waste on a surveillance program that violated civil liberties — and the government hit him with ten felony counts. Not for leaking secrets. For talking to a reporter about waste. This is what every state does when you touch its revenue: it calls you a spy. Whistleblowers are the market's immune system. Prosecute them, and you immunize the state against accountability. Full stop.
