You have a point; except that espionage is mentioned in the constitution too-- at least in regard to "treason": giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

The Russians are not the "enemy" in a constitutional sense since we are not at war with them.

Espionage laws could still apply to government employees like Ellsberg and Manning, but not to press organs like The New York Times and Wikileaks.
