If the GOP pushes this thing, the news story will be another scurrilous leak by the GOP, putting partisan politics above national security. It's crazy, I know, but just watch.
In reality, though, the Pubs have already signalled that if the rats just fire one of their clerks, the matter will be dropped (in spite of the fact that the memo probably came down from the DNC).
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, Georgia Republican and member of the intelligence committee, said Democrats have a responsibility "to tell us where [the memo] came from ... and to have that staffer removed."

It's naive to think that some staffer wrote that on his/her own. Staffers don't just sit around writing theoretical strategies on official memo paper describing how to best use intelligence to "take down" a sitting president. This was circulated amongst the committee Democrats.
