Absolutely crazy story of the last 2 days trying to declassify it. They also gave it to John Solomon and 1 other "reporter" CLASSIFIED.

After the release of her book, Enough, the full details were revealed. According to Hutchinson, Meadows infuriated the White House counsel with the move. He made a last-minute mad-dash for the Justice Department, claiming Trump declassified the information after Trump had already left the White House, according to Hutchinson. The DOJ refused to declassify the information, but Trump's allies maintain Trump filed the necessary paperwork in time.

"I watched [Meadows] climb into the limo, noticing the original Crossfire Hurricane binder tucked under his arm," Hutchinson writes. "I didn’t have time to ask what he planned to do with it as he drove away. My mind whirred with questions. Why would [Trump] keep me on payroll? Generosity isn’t his style. And what the hell is Mark doing with the unredacted Crossfire Hurricane binder?"

It was the day before the inauguration.

1. Releasing that would have gotten a lot of informants killed.

A lot did get killed by Putin after the Steele Dossier came out.

Maybe Trump already treasonously gave the classified info in the Crossfire Hurricane binder to Putin, and wanted to cover it up by declassifying it and getting Fox to publish it, so that there was a non-incriminating explanation for how that info got into the hands of the Russians.

2. Meadows stole classified documents

And it looks like he got away with it.
