If the leaker and media were so "outraged" about Trump's careless disclosure of classified information (regarding a plot to blow up civilian airliners by ISIS) to Russia, a co-belligerent against ISIS, why would the leaker and media proceed to reveal far more information to the world, than Trump did to the top levels of the Russian foreign service.

Do you honestly believe any other elected official in that country would have discussed matters such as this, in particularly careless and vulgar fashion, with the Russian foreign minister?

Well, no other official could because they lack the power that the president has, which is to declassify information as needed. And which powers other presidents have used in the past and hope would continue to use in the context of fighting terrorist plots against civilians.
