I wouldn’t, of course... Unless I was an Admin or GOP operative, in which case I’d use it, and many more drips of information like it, to make this already smelly 2016 investigation and the smelly attempts to thwart investigations since it, look like a big political game where all involved, on both sides, are engaged in unethical and possibly illegal behavior.
Faucet’s going to need a lot of fixing. GOP is cultivating leakers.
ETA: Average Joe doesn’t know what counterintelligence is. But he understands the word “spying.” You keep writing about right and wrong. Like voters will say, “That’s counterintelligence... The good guys.” Those concepts don’t exist here. This is all games. You know that. Reality is what you can make the public believe.
