Risible, but the attacks will be against The Atlantic and anyone asking similarly "un american" questions against The Administration.

Expect some investigations into the outlet and their staff.

The administration still needs the support of the people. Things like this and the Putin appeasement will reduce that.

The rising costs do the rest

    That assumes the conservative press will actually cover this scandal for what it is.

    I checked Fox, OANN, Breitbart, Newsmax, and Infowars. Of those outlets, Newsmax is only covering the attacks themselves, not the breach of national security[0], Fox is criticizing The Atlantic and calling them a partisan rag that's getting humiliated by Trump[1], and Infowars is downplaying and making excuses while also claiming The Atlantic is run by globalist (by which Alex Jones means Jewish) pedophiles[2]. For Infowars and Fox, I had to scroll pretty far down their respective front pages to find any mention of this.

    I think it's safe to say Trump will continue to retain the support of his base because his base are insulated from these inconvenient truths.
