Should publicly exposing illegal activity be a criminal offence?

Without whistle-blowers (I refuse to use the term 'leaker') there would be a lot more corruption. Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning have paid a tremendous price for doing the right thing. What Michael Flynn did was illegal as well as being a major conflict of interests. It deserved to be exposed.

@Burnley123: Yes, because of course the government will release info on the deaths of their undercover agents.

@BlueDiver: But obviously they are still alive as of now and the leaks haven't killed them. Having things de-classified after fifty years does not stop things happening in the now.
