Was Daniel Ellsberg ever prosecuted for revealing military secrets?
Prouty was never reprimanded for anything to my knowledge.
Ellsberg's psychiatric record was sought by CREEP (the committee to re-elect the president, NIXON) which created the so-called White House Plumbers who broke into Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office. Then he surrendered after the Supreme Court ruled that another court had ruled, wrongly, that the press could print the Pentagon Papers. Ellsberg faced charges for crimes under the Espionage Act of 1917! In May of '73 all charges against Ellsberg were dropped as a result of the gross misconduct of the federal government in prosecuting Ellsberg, including breaking into his psychiatrist's office, illegal wire tapping, etc.
