My (late) observations about this article: 1. "People familiar with the matter" need to STFU. You are not helping. 2. Is anyone surprised that Top Secrets intel prepared for the President contains sensitive info on China and Iran, two of our biggest geopolitical threats? /1

I get the breathless reactions, but I don't see this article as revealing anything new about whether it's more or less likely that DOJ will charge Trump. You should assume that every one of the TS documents at MAL contains incredibly sensitive intel. POTUS gets the good stuff! /2
Since some people were confused, #1 refers to the govt officials who took an oath not to disclose classified, and then violated that oath in order to leak information to the media about an investigation into the mishandling of classified information (not to Twitter armchair QBs).
@secretsandlaws There is also the question of source. In the past, we have seen leaks that sound horrible (Nuclear Secrets!), but when it turns out to be “non-nuclear” secrets it is portrayed as “See not so bad”
