According to ranking member Adam Schiff his declassification request was critically important, immediately necessary,… vital to the larger understanding,… intensely important to get released… etc. Well, where is it?
UPDATE: Schiff now says he doesn’t want it released.
Last Friday FBI Director Christopher Wray and DOJ AAG Rod Rosenstein, informed the White House chief legal counsel of declassification adjustments needed for release. The White House subsequently informed congress and requested Adam Schiff (House Intelligence Committee) to work with the FBI and DOJ therein for quick release.

The Dimms are not going to vote for DACA. This would be a success for Pres. Trump. They can’t allow Pres. Trump to drastically restrict familial migration, border security or eliminate the diversity lottery. That would constitute success for Pres. Trump. And they NEED illegal immigrants to vote for them so they can regain power. They don’t care about illegals or DACA, least of all Americans who don’t agree with them.

Jan, your comment reminded me of an almost perfedct analogy from real life that I learned when taking a life-saving course to qualify myself to be a life guard at a local swimming pool. I know that sounds WAY off topic, but here it is.
We were taught to be very cautious when approaching a struggling, drowning swimmer, who very likely might grab us and hold on for dear life in desperation and thereby cause the deaths of both of us.
For that reason, we were taught to be ready to handle the victim to avoid their grasp and to turn them around facing away from us to enable us to safely hold them tightly and begin to swim to safety.
The desperation of the leftists at this time seems similar to the desperation of a drowning swimmer with one huge difference. The swimmer is scared to death and just wants to live.
The leftists are scared to death, but would rather kill us all than change their “progress” toward Utopia.
Sometimes, it is difficult to distinguish fear from hatred.

Every single thing Democrats propose comes with a poison pill. Schiff wanted Trump to release his message so he could accuse him of damaging national security. Trump was onto his game so he sent the memo back requesting the required changes so it could be released. Schiff really didn’t want the memo released – he just wanted another ridiculous issue he could parade in the media to attack Trump and Nunes with.
Same thing with this DACA nonsense. Dems don’t want a deal, they only want a campaign issue. They really are a despicable lot.

“We’re not going to make any revisions to it. The only question is what redactions will be made. And obviously we’d like to keep those to a minimum,” Schiff told reporters.
To me that implies that it will indeed be released after being redacted (but not revised). I imagine this is part of the plan–point to all the big black boxes obscuring sources and methods and say “see! The White House made us cut this part, but just trust me, this totally for sure proves collusion! Honest! If only you could read it.”

C’mon you guys- I was assured just a few days ago that
a) Nunes memo was nothing more than a bunch of lies and when the DOJ/FBI requested changes Trump refused because it made him look good.
b) The FBI and DOJ didn’t ‘want’ changes or redactions, they were just explaining what they thought was sensitive.
c)Trump could and should have released it JUST LIKE HE DID THE NUNES MEMO.
d)Trump not releasing the memo was just a big old FU to all sane human beings.
That was when I linked to the Wray- Rod letter above and pointed out that the first memo was critical of FBI and DOJ so it made sense to me that those agencies would fight it’s release but the Schiff memo would, at least in theory, make them look good, so the fact that they were suggesting revisions and redactions made me think that there might actually be sensitive information.
That’s when I got

The democrat memo was essentially published two ago in the form of the “unclassified” rebuttal talking points that made the rounds of the media and all the social media blogs. Since that release those points have been dissected and pretty much blown apart either by existing facts or newly released e-mails, texts and the Grassley memo. That set of talking points was the trial balloon for the classified version of the Democrat Memo. The actual release of the “classified” memo hinged on the amount of traction gained by the talking points.

The counter-memo is and always has been about keeping the balance… or the appearance of one.
Again I reflect on the most common response I get from Democrat voters when discussing congressmen and senators on the Democrat side who always seem to get into some sort of trouble.
Their response isn’t to deny it, but rather to draw relativity between Republicans and Democrats. “They do it too!” Yes, but I have to insist it’s not generally the same crimes and corruption and not the same RATE of crimes and corruption either.
So long as there is a Democrat memo on security and so long as there are heavy redactions, the attempt at framing the situation as “they won’t let us speak the truth” will enjoy some success.
I think he should be released with as few redactions as possible and reviewed in detail before the press. Where possible, it should be pointed out where the Democrat memo recklessly attempts to compromise national security by insisting that it be released.
They can’t be allowed to win this fight. This is all about showing the public where the problems are so that when they are arrested and charged, there will be as few claims of this being a politically motivated prosecution.
