Democrats should be cautious in releasing their response memo to the Nunes memo...

Since the Nunes memo has now been widely interpreted as a big bust, the Democrats should be in no hurry to expose more names or intelligence. Perhaps they should do it differently than the Repubs did on the Intel Committee? Perhaps they should ask the FBI to analyze it before it is released? They should be more protective of intelligence than Paul Ryan and the Republicans.

Just my opinion.

Releasing it in its internal form would be illegal. That means it wasn't happening.

So what are you imagining they need to be MORE responsible than?

and making your meaning more clear by removing what could be mistaken for a false equalization (unintended of course). Good for you. I agree 100%.

this is only if republicans vote to allow it to see the light of day.

especially with this stuff. Why assume they would be revealing anything untoward?

Many are laughing at how the Nunes memo fared, but they neglect to see how the other side is taking in that memo - the same way trump is. Get the Democrat memo out and let those borderline trumpsters see the real facts. It will likely change a few back over the side of sanity.

BUT, I doubt that memo will ever get to the WH for release approval, and if it does it won't leave the WH.

...have created some other distraction, we will barely notice its release.

But...

It has to be approved by the House, and that crazy orange thing, first.

We will be chatting about the shut down, DACA, and Mueller, when the Dem response is possibly released.
