If it is it will be presented as "happening in the Republicans' watch" and part of "the culture of corruption."

What is the big deal? If he is a Democrat, then he is a 'patriot' to leak such information
which damages America.
This would only be serious and newsworthy if he were, say, a Republican.

Convenient of the AP to release this news at night before a Friday.

Well, it's just one other way that the Democrats and the insurgents conspire to effect the elections to their advantage. They don't work together as most conspirators do in all planning and execution, and their motives are not identical. Both do want power at any price. But, by the way, don't question the Democrats' patriotism.

And he didn't even need to bother. The NYT also had the same material released directly by their spies in the CIA back in April.

If it is it will be presented as "happening in the Republicans' watch" and part of "the culture of corruption."Or as a "political witch hunt" and "yet another Republican assault on freedom of the press."

I couldn't read the whole article...but "suspension" sure seems like a light punishment for leaking intelligence information to the enemy!!!

You're a bit cynical. This could make the TODAY SHOW ....as an example of heavy-handed partisanship by the Republicans and one more example of why the Democrats need to take over the House.
