Adam Schiff says the 5 day waiting period for the president to declassify

a memo is a fiction. The President just has to decide to veto the Nunes Memo the republicans just voted to release or not. The 5 day thing he thinks is so that they can then hold back the Democratic response memo for days. Republicans could have had a separate vote on the Democratic memo tonight and sent it the the WH at the same time as the republican one.

During that presser, I saw tears of anger and frustration standing in Rep. Schiff'eyes?
Then his eyes cleared as he continued. This is very bad.

a patriot in all of this, and there have been a few others too fighting along side with him.

Those of us who have a brain or have any sanity that this is not NORMAL, this is not our government. We will react strongly be it peacefully or not.

The chance to release their first at a time of their choosing and do as much damaging as possible to Democrats until the Democratic memo drops, if it ever does. Pricks.

only the first part of a story reinforced in their minds for 5 days before democrats can legally respond with their memo.
