This generation of republican congressmen are mostly self-serving hypocrites.   For instance, in july 2016, after james comey described hillary clinton's email server protocols as "extremely careless," republicans such as marco rubio, paul ryan, and darrell issa blasted her, and sought to deny her subsequent access to classified information.   Michael mccaul of texas said that even the possibility of exposing sensitive intelligence to foreign adversaries (such as russia?) is "treason."   But nary a word has been heard from them about trump's release of classified information to the russians.

Trump himself, while campaigning last year, said that anyone who mishandled classified information should be disqualified from positions of authority (such as potus?)
