I have been doing a bit of research.  Looks like there was an analysis and report generated regarding this in Feb 2017 and another - more in depth report in March 2017.  It looks like they were trying to figure out what can be done considering past precedent that has been set. The two reports:  https://fas.org/sgp/crs/secrecy/law-leaks.pdf https://fas.org/sgp/crs/secrecy/R41404.pdf However - in looking at the statues regarding treason, sedition, and subversive activities - while considering the current circumstances and how expansive the plot to undermine and overthrow the government (trying to stage a coup over the current president and his admin seems pretty destructive and over-throwy to me) and that the effort has been highly organized between both government employees (past and present), members of the media AND social networking sites....  (Sorry for the longass sentences.)  I do believe that there is merit in further research of 18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 - TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES // U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government... It reads:  Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government; or Whoever, with intent to cause the overthrow or destruction of any such government, prints, publishes, edits, issues, circulates, sells, distributes, or publicly displays any written or printed matter advocating, advising, or teaching the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying any government in the United States by force or violence, or attempts to do so; or Whoever organizes or helps or attempts to organize any society, group, or assembly of persons who teach, advocate, or encourage the overthrow or destruction of any such government by force or violence; or becomes or is a member of, or affiliates with, any such society, group, or assembly of persons, knowing the purposes thereof— Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction. If two or more persons conspire to commit any offense named in this section, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both, and shall be ineligible for employment by the United States or any department or agency thereof, for the five years next following his conviction. As used in this section, the terms “organizes” and “organize”, with respect to any society, group, or assembly of persons, include the recruiting of new members, the forming of new units, and the regrouping or expansion of existing clubs, classes, and other units of such society, group, or assembly of persons. But - I have to research this more and find out what - if any - information regarding charges and verdicts to see what precedent has already been set...
