Was this Democratic Memo ever classified or Top Secret?

[Siwsan]

Or could somebody pull a Feinstein and just release it?

1. Thanks for asking ... I was wondering too. NT

2. i think so

only because they had to vote on it, just like the one they released. After voting it was declassified

3. I think they could get past the scrutiny

...if they could manage to get the FBI to review and redact it where they think is appropriate. At this point, I'd trust the FBI, implicitly, to treat the Dem doc fairly.

4. regardless, i don't see why they couldn't write and release an unclassified version.

i'm not sure what classified information needs to be disclosed for the sake of the democratic memo, especially given that the point would be simply that the republican memo is wrong. just assert that there's no evidence to support the republican memo.

5. I don't see why not. As long as there is a complete "unclassified"

classification on the entire memo, I don't know why it would need presidential approval, except as a courtesy to the president...and he deserves no courtesy, so fuck that...release it.

EDIT: I'm sure they could redact any information necessary to lower the classification to "unclassified".

6. If its the same classified info the 'thugs already released

I don't see why Dems releasing the correct info on those same facts would be classified.
