John Cronyn gives up the game, claims debunking Trump's lies is leak of 'classified info'

Following Thursday’s meetings about documents related to the ongoing criminal investigation of the Trump campaign — ones where Trump’s lawyer and chief of staff made highly unusual appearances — House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff (D-CA) released a statement saying no evidence was presented supporting President Trump’s assertions about FBI spies being embedded in his campaign.




A short time later, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) accidentally gave away the cynical game Trump’s Republican supporters are playing. In a tweet, Cornyn accused Schiff of leaking classified information by attempting to debunk Trump’s lies.

“Isn’t this a leak of classified information?” Cornyn wrote, in response to Schiff’s statement.




Steven Dennis of Bloomberg responded to Cornyn by asking, “How can it be classified info if there was no such info?” But Cornyn dismissed the question, characterizing Schiff’s statement as “Spin based on classified information. Still classified.

Why isn't Cornyn giving McConnell the raspberry, too?

Trick question; we all know why Cowardly Cornyn won't cross McConnell.
