House Intel Committee Votes To Release Dem Countermemo. Will Trump Go Along?

[Dulcinea]

The House intelligence committee voted without opposition on Monday to declassify a secret Democratic rebuttal to the once-secret Republican memo about alleged surveillance abuses that was unveiled on Friday.

The Democrats' document now goes to the White House, where President Trump will decide whether it should become public.

White House spokesman Raj Shah told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One on Monday that the administration would review the countermemo by intelligence committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., as it did the first one by Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif.

One additional wrinkle with Schiff's document is that he has also asked for the FBI and Justice Department to go over it as well. Those agencies already have copies of it, Schiff told reporters at the Capitol on Monday evening.

1. No.

2. I understand Trump can just leave it alone for 5 days, it then goes back to the House.

But one way or the other it is coming out.

Schiff is an experienced Attorney. Nunes is a Dairy Farmer. He never had any competition
In his former elections. He does this time and they are milking the fact of his treachery and
never meeting with his Constituents.

Schiff is very careful with what he says, making sure his memo is approved by the FBI and State Department. Sending them copies first.

3. I hope he doesn't

The Nunes memo destroyed itself. Don't dignify it--and prolong attention on a distraction--by responding.
