Of course the dems are saying that b/c of the timing of the "leak," this is election season bad politics and should be dismissed as such.
How rich is the irony: a guy shrugs "innocently" about his "sloppiness" regarding the mishandling/theft of sensitive material, as if The the security issues surrounding these kinds of documents were new to him -
AND HE'S THE FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR!!!!
There are two possible explanations:
1. He's lying, and was trying to hide material from investigators
2. He's such a moron that it was a crime to ever have him as National Security Advisor
