Real journalism isn’t a crime. At least it’s not supposed to be in the U.S. And he’s not even American so it’s not like he had a patriotic duty not to release our classified documents.
He disclosed "secret" and "confidential" property of the US Government. Like it or not he is a public enemy in the eyes of our Government. Now that being said he is also a hero, he knew what he was doing would land him in some shit and he's doing exactly what anyone with a brain would do. But you have to remember in your eyes he is a hero but to the left he is a fucking demon. Its just based on perspective and if we allow that to happen people would expose more sensitive information and just claim "journalism." What if it had been troop deployments prior to an operation and Acosta said "I was just doing Journalism!!!!" ?
Because no good deed goes unpunished. Irregardless of how you feel about the Guy he still broke laws.

Disclosing "secret" and "confidential" property of the US Government is not a crime. See New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971).
