Lots of Trump supporters talking about the memo being declassified, maybe tomorrow. A former prosecutor said he'd file criminal charges against Nunes if it gets released.
What are the implications if it does get released? Will it benefit Trump by showing abuse of the FISA warrant, it will it again implicate Nunes in a criminal conspiracy to protect Trump?

That's what the Justice Dept. deputy said to him in the letter, asking him NOT to release it till the JD had approved the release.

But yeah. Theyll manage to turn it into something bigger than BENGHAZI!!!

Then again ... what am I saying, both Trump and Nunes are idiots, as is their knuckle-dragging cult.
But still ... I'm going w/NO. "The (rumors of the) Memo" has already served it's purpose, there's no real 'win' for them in putting it out at this point.

(26,403 posts)Last heard, Nunes has not shown the contents to the White House. So, Trump is operating in his usual mental vacuum of non-think. Given Nunes is using this as a nothing-burger where the only value is in it's not being released, it's doubtful the White House staff will let Trump do anything to lessen it's value - ie, release it.
