Strassel: They Successfully Managed to Keep the Signal Leak in the News ‘Simply Because of Their Mishandling in the Aftermath’

RUSH EXCERPT:
STRASSEL: "Well, I think we can say they successfully managed to keep this in the news and elevated way beyond what it needed to be simply because of their mishandling in the aftermath. Most people who look at this the polls say it express real alarm at what happened because it looked a little junior varsity. And as Dan was saying we were lucky there is not any real harm done and certainly suggested bad judgment. The way you handle that is say yes we messed up. You take the loss, you move on you acknowledge are not going to do it again. They attacked the journalists and they elevated this to something well beyond what it needed to be and now Congress is well dug in we’ve got calls for inspector general reports and calls for resignations. And I think this is going to continue for a bit longer until they can manage to again just to say there was a mistake here. Let’s turn the topic."
