Charles Pierce notes that mavericky maverick Senator John McCain had this to say to the Associated Press: “We certainly don't want any president to leak classified information but the president does have the right to do that.” Which appears technically to be true: the short-fingered vulgarian is apparently free to share whatever information he likes with anyone he likes, and can declassify on the fly. But I don’t propose to cancel my vacation plans in order not to miss the senior Senator from Arizona’s testicles as they descend.
