Yes. I think what's happening is there's innocent agents and intel sources out there who might be outed too. These sources might not have anything to do with this case whatsoever and Trump doesn't want to endanger them and the (legit) operations they may be involved in now. I'm sure Sessions and others have recommended this course of action.

Trump is president and he has to put national security above personal considerations, no matter how badly he wants to out the names of the bad actors that were engaged against him.
