This is why venues like Wikileaks should not be celebrated or promoted. Now everyone is coming out of the woodwork to release classified/sensitive information the public should not be looking at. The person responsible for this leaks needs to be found and placed in jail.

This was not classified information . Since when is the President groveling and acting like a brat sensitive information?

What laws do you imagine were broken? Or do you want someone jailed 'just because"

First, I did not flatly say "classified", I said classified/sensitive. BUT, if you read the WaPo narrative:

"The White House declined to comment. An official familiar with both conversations, who refused to speak on the record because the president’s calls have NOT BEEN DECLASSIFIED, said, “The president is a tough negotiator who is always looking to make the best possible deals for the American people..." (emphasis added)
AND
"Both documents obtained by The Post contain notes indicating they were reviewed and CLASSIFIED by retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg Jr., who serves as chief of staff on the National Security Council."

I'm not interested in the style Trump uses in negotiating and I can imagine many other President have had similar conversations which did not get leaked. This is my point, which once again you missed (as you have in the past). By releasing this kind of information to the world, we are undermining more than just Trump. This undermines the Office of the President, our government, and the US as a whole. The individual responsible OBVIOUSLY knows they did wrong, otherwise, they would not need their identity protected.

Per DSCG 05-01:
(U) 3. Types of FGI Likely to Require Classification. FGI can encompass a broad
range of types of information, including:
(U) a. High Level Correspondence. This includes letters, diplomatic notes or
memoranda or other reports of telephone or face-to-face conversations involving foreign
chiefs of state or government, cabinet-level officials or comparable level figures, e.g.,
leaders of opposition parties. It should be presumed that this type of information should
be classified at least CONFIDENTIAL, though the actual level of classification will
depend upon the sensitivity of the contained. information and classification normally
assigned by the U.s. to this category of information. Information from senior officials
shall normally be assigned a classification duration of at least ten years. Some subjects,
such as cooperation on matters affecting third countries, or negotiation of secret
agreements, would merit original classification for up to 25 years.
