Rep McCaul released more info tonight. Did he give out info that might hamper the investigation?

Why the freak is a House member basically overstep Dept Of Homeland Security?


And am I wrong but does it seem like a power play of some sort.

1. Good comments. Thanks. It looks like Rep. McCaul is out of place.

Perhaps he cleared his comments with Homeland Security before he made them, but if not, he should have "remained silent."

The time to tell secrets is after the investigation is over. He may (or may not) have compromised that investigation.

2. And you are right he might have had permission HOWEVER it just makes my skin crawl

knowing a member of the opposite party is giving out info--maybe I'm too overwhelmed with politics lately but I just feel it is at least grandstanding and at worse basically giving the finger to the current administration just because it is the current administration. I don't remember Democrats doing this after 9/11. I remember the country putting aside politics for a brief time and supported the administration at the time. Shouldn't we expect the very least?

4. You should know by now Republicans don't give a shit about decorum, or consideration.

"The end justifies the means."

That's what they live by.

3. If he is trust me, he will be talked to and his piehole will become shut tighter

than the new ball joints I just put on my truck.

5. Did I jump too quickly? Or is there some cause for concern?

7. I don't know if anything he said should be kept under wraps or not..

I'm just saying, if he said some shit he shouldn't have, has been given information by somebody with clearance he doesn't have, or is violating confidentiality agreements, it won't continue.

And we probably won't know one way or the other.
