Hey, Dems: Use the white house chaos to leak the memo. Why not?

Are they going to accuse you of breaking the rules???????

Seriously????

Because they don't????

Because if we don't take back the house in Nov, the whole world knows we are vulnerable to any kind of attack while these fools continue with their 7th grade reality TV show.

They can read it into the Congressional Record on the House floor. With immunity.

6. I beg (in a friendly way) to argue: The GOP memo was "classified", too. Until it wasn't.

The dems are taking it to the authorities to cull the non-classified parts, and those must be released.

Because this administration is already breaking laws right and left and will continue to do so until stopped.

10. This crook can't prosecute because it would open him up to his own crimes. He's been de-clawed.

11. Trump can as the president declassify anything he chooses. We can't. In a friendly way it is the law

Trump decides what is classified and who gets a security clearance for that matter...it is a powerful position...being president...very dangerous to have someone like Trump in such an office.

Besides the fact that it will change one opinion - everyone is entrenched in their position. The release of classified info would give their position more weight.
