I didn't notice anything in the story about the dems planning to release classified intel. If that is indeed the result, one would think the dem Senators would all be open to charges by DOJ, including conspiracy.

You missed the point of the memo. These investigations into Rumsfeld etc. aren't for discovering how we made mistakes so we can set them right, they're being conducted for partisan political purposes. Now you may say "well yes but we knew that" and you would be right. However, the Dems could and always have plausibly denied that before and accused the Republicans of trying to change the subject to obscure their own failings. The news here is that the Dems are now on record as conducting partisan witch hunts. That's the importance of the memo.

What is shows is that the Democrats are only interested in using the intelligence committee for political purposes, not to advance national security.

Snakes love to live under rocks, and so do rats and even rinos.

The strategy is clearly outlined; the attack plan is clear.

Just read through it again.

Very sophisticated when composted with the major networks on the 6PM News.

That's the whole "beauty" of it (from the 'Rat perspective). They only have to threaten to do so, or advocate investigations that might do so. They will depend on the administration to protect the security of intelligence information, but in doing so they (the administration) can be made to appear to be "hiding something" or "obstructing justice".

The best and most effective 'Rat strategies are those based on the assumption their opponents will behave honorably and responsibly. Our best strategies are based on the opposite assumption.
