“E-mail prankster” phishes White House officials; ...
Isn't impersonating someone illegal, just like publishing a response in a private email conversation?

There's nothing illegal about publishing a response.

Perhaps, but I'm pretty sure that impersonating someone, and especially impersonating someone with the intent to acquire non-public information, is illegal.

IANAL but it's also complicated by the fact that the prankster is in a different country.
