” Pentagon Papers case is unambiguous in this matter. The House can move to expel him with a 2/3 concurrence. But he can’t be prosecuted, in fact he can’t even be investigated.”

A completely inaccurate assertion.

The Pentagon Papers case had nothing to do with a Congressman. Daniel Ellsberg was an employee of Rand corp. The only reason he was not imprisoned is because DOJ dropped charges after it was discovered there was a great deal of prosecutorial misconduct.

Multiple members of Congress have been charged with crimes, prosecuted and imprisoned. They are in no way immune to the Espionage Act.

Yeah no one here SERIOUSLY thinks this won’t be leaked.

This is the dems. Not the Rs, who like faggots always play by the rules.

“They can’t get their memo out unless they leak it.”

Trump is daring them to leak it.

This could be a sting operation.

What’s that going to achieve? Grassley, Goodlatte and Johnson have outmaneuvered Schiff and the dhimmis on the FISA matter.

Trump has been beating Dems at their own game for almost 3 years now.

And half of those here are going all squishy, thinking the Dems just won this round.

As we’ve been seeing recently, the entire situation is fluid. By tomorrow morning, Trump will have the upper hand.

By the time the media wakes in the morning, Trump will tweet his own response to this. and it should be a doozie.

Strategery people. Strategery.
