It's public record at that point... when acting under that context, anyone can
read and publish it. Be it the Press/WL or Jane Public. Or perhaps even
congressperson, NSA, military, executive branch, etc... so long as they
were say officially off work as anyone might be in the evening at the library
or on vacation visiting their capitol... though you probably wouldn't want to
actually try it (ref also: the military blocking WL website from soldiers), just
let the Press do it. You just can't be cleared/NDA'd and do the initial leak,
unless you change policy by fiat (exec order), or are Rep/Sen and speak
in congress.
