Does anybody believe that Trump read even one word of the Democratic memo?

I can't imagine he has even seen it.

Why would he bother when there was no way they would release it?

And why should the Dems rewrite it? That will go nowhere either. They can redo it 100 times and it will get turned down.

Leak it to the Post or read it into the record, whatever needs to be done to get the information out.

No, it was sent to DNI, DOJ and FBI FarCenter Feb 2018 #2
My mistake then - only half listening to the news rurallib Feb 2018 #5
The final "no" came from Donald, but he was just doing what WH & DoJ lawyers were telling him to do FarCenter Feb 2018 #9

and I guess I assumed the "NO" came from Benedict Donald.

Still - he will never even give it a glance

Trump would have no way of telling what is classified and what is not.

And I’m pretty sure I read somewhere this week that Kelly said as much, that Trump wouldn’t read it because it was too detailed and too extensively footnoted.
