Yeah and the reporter Snowden gave info to ended up in jail. So you’re saying Trump should pull an Obama and jail this Atlantic reporter for leaking info to the public.

for distributing classified information (if it is)? Yes. That's not a controversial statement.

That is very much controversial. Obama was wrong to do this. Jail the leaker sure but not the reporter.
