They also would have blamed him if he had released classified information. They would have claimed they weren’t the experts on that. They would have said that the executive branch are the experts on classification. So they were hoping to get him one way or the other. Damned if he did and damned if he didn’t
My suggestion would be to have Schiffless, Schmuck Schumer, San Fran Nan, Director of FBI and Director of National Security in the Oval Office, live in front of national news media.
Hand them the original Dem Memo and a black magic marker each.
Tell them on national television that you want to release the memo, but they will have to perform the redactions themselves live in front of the nation to insure FAIRNESS and insure National Security.
Let the party begin.
