The information is that Flynn amongst others had frequent contact with Russian actors at the time of sanctions being imposed and it became apparent from this that Flynn lied to Pence. Leakers might be sacked if identified but that's it. This isn't analogous to Snowden's case at all.
A sacking's fair enough..if they've done nothing illegal.
But they still have to go.
You can't run a government without that type of security of information.
Flynn went because he lied to (and embarrassed) Pence
Anything beyond that ...we'll have to wait for the transcripts.
If Flynn or others have been involved in illegal activities they should be subject to criminal charges.
