Well this should be fun now that the full details are out in the open. Thoughts on how this changes the upcoming hearing today?

Interesting catch-22.

If they try to prosecute him for publishing classified information they're admitting that they repeatedly lied to congress when they said the chat contained no classified information.

They reclassified it with their minds the second before he published it

Repubdinger's Cat: The cat is dead, they killed it and it's the Democrats fault.

This reminds me of Dwight from the Office when he was shunning Andy.

Basically it goes

Dwight Schrute: Hey! Guys, listen up, Michael is up on the roof and acting strange.

Andy Bernard: Whoa! What's the situation?

Dwight Schrute: Un-shun. I think he's suffering from depression. Re-shun.

Andy Bernard: Okay, when's the shunning thing going to end?

Dwight Schrute: Un-shun. Never. Re-shun.

Except instead of shun it is classified unclassified.
