100% Incorrect. If the OP has a security clearance, then maybe... At most he is probably in violation of the NDA he signed, not any criminal laws. To actually violate the criminal statues around Leaking classified material you have to CAUSE ACTUAL HARM to the US government.
The original leaker obviously causes harm, but the guy submitting a public document to Google for fun....that's going to be hard for a judge to believe.
It's remotely feasible that a person without a security clearance could be convicted of a crime for re publishing classified documents, but it would have to be some very odd situation.
