He wasn't going to out a secret program in a public hearing.

The folks asking the questions had security clearance and could have asked the question during a classified briefing but they chose not to.

If grandstanding to out a secret program when he knew the answer and was supposed to be asking that question in private I'd say it was fine, and it seems everyone else thought so also hence no charges.

Seems the consensus was the grandstanding was less important than national security since nothing came of it. I'd agree.
