So Schiff and company think they have boxed the administration in by including sources and methods in their counter memo.  It's a win for them any way it goes, right?  Trump releases the memo unredacted and the Dems and their govt media masters claim that he is harming national security.  Trump redacts the memo to remove sources and methods and the Dems and their govt media masters howl that he redacted damaging information so it is a cover up.

Here is what the administration should do.  They should redact the memo to remove sources and methods as they see fit.  They should then send it back to the Dems on the committee and tell them to undo whatever redactions they want and release it.  That way any secrets that are released will be the responsibility of the Democrats.  And if they leave the redactions they will have zero credibility in claiming that Trump is covering up as he can state simply and truthfully that they had the right to remove whatever redactions they wanted before its release.  And the administration can subsequently release their redacted version of the memo as proof.
