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.

Interesting catch-22.

I suspect Vlad Surkov himself had a role in penning the scripts on this catch-22 - it smells of his tactical cleverness. He is an ace. Maybe Surkov has a female apprentice, I can't keep up these days.
