Fuck drumpf. How can he claim their memo is classified when it's about the memo he totally declassified and it strongly appears his staff helped write the lying screed? Answer - Putin doesn't carel and doesn't want the truth out so drumpf will just do what he does every time he opens his mouth, lie to cover up the truth that he is a total traitor.

history. Dems have often lacked spine in the past and still don't treat orange assface as the existential threat he is to our country and us.

i think if we release our own memo, it takes away from the argument that the release of their memo was a betrayal of confidential sources and information for partisan gain.

as it is, donnie and nunes look entirely partisan, which is pretty much all we're trying to show. the fact that they're preventing us from releasing our memo only furthers our point.

...I think they could get away with releasing an FBI-scrubbed version.

I actually wouldn't mind it going to the WH first, if they are willing to release it anyway, just to see how much Trump and his minions lie about it.

9. There's plenty to attack in the Nunes memo; no need to de-classify anything.

Dems should release one consolidated, and EASY TO UNDERSTAND memo that totally destroys the Nunes self-contradictory bullshit.
