Republicans had better do some thinking before they release that memo

This little-known rule under which Nunes wants to release his 4-page memo containing classified information - what does he think Dems are going to do with that precedent in one year if they take the House?

The Democrats won't use any precedent, because it would be wrong.

Repubs on the other hand take what they can get, even if it means releasing classified information. They will just throw a hissy fit if the Democrats attempt it in the future.
