At a Washington dinner party somebody asked President Carter why he’d done something and he answered, “Well, we know from Muammar Gaddafi’s brother in law...” The man was arrested and tortured to death. President Kennedy wanted to know if the Russians would really risk war over Cuba, so he asked the British to contact their agent in Stalin’s inner circle. While we found out that they weren’t going to war over Cuba, it got the man arrested and tortured to death.

Just because you can do something, does not mean it is without consequences for other people. When dealing with classified information, it’s always smart to follow the process; dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s. We can wait nineteen days. It won’t kill anybody to wait.

Just passing along the article. Though I think the point of the article is a good one. That is, Republicans are tweeting complaints about something they have complete control over.

Also, it should be kept in mind that it’s a memo that they (Republicans) drew up from intelligence reports, it’s a summary of things they want to highlight and not the raw info itself.

So, if they do release it, look for complaints from Dems and the Media (redundant, I know) that it’s contents were taken out of context and dismissed as they do with all of O’Keefe’s sting undercover videos.
