Its almost as if hes punishing the reporter for the discovery .. which makes me wonder was it being siphoned politically beforehand and hes trying to direct the story away from whoever may have been siphoning it..to the false story of ... the reporter discovering the siphoning.

#4Missouri Gov. Mike Parson (R) .. vowed his administration would seek to prosecute and investigate .. anyone who aided the publication in its "attempt to embarrass the state and sell headlines for their news outlet."
Embarrassing governments is the natural outcome of the press doing it's job. This is what the extra constitutional protections are for.

#8> “And then to react in this way where you don’t say ‘thank you’ but actually turn on the reporter and researchers and go after them…it’s just weird.”
it's not "weird", it's an elected official trying to deflect from being exposed as completely endangering the PII of state employees. while trying to bring charges here is ridiculous, it might not be the case in a few years as we watch the continued crumbling of institutions, where bad faith arguments made up on the fly by anyone in power become excuses to do anything. like trying to extort the government of Ukraine to work on behalf of the official's personal reelection campaign, for example.
