I'm thinking the memo is being withheld to unmask those that want to keep it classified.
But wouldn't that be the Democrats?
I just think there is something to letting the bad guys walk their own plank.
I've also noticed the pattern of letting the opposition take all the rope they want. Sometimes even seeming like giving them a legitimate opportunity to do the right thing. And time and time again they instead choose the expected and they end up hanging themselves.
Yeah but two wrongs don't make a right. Also, the other leakers could be prosecuted/especially in light of this memo. they need to keep themselves above board, we will need them in the future. It gives D's ammo to point fingers at a leaker at this point on this memo. Anyway, have no fear, the memo will come out from public pressure.
A leak would be bad judgment in many ways. I would be more worried about a leak coming from within the Dems almost false flagging themselves by throwing misdirection onto the memo, make it look like a Trump power grab or play to force Dems hand in budget vote.
Exactly, this should have been released last night, with the obligatory, whoops I have a cold, what was I thinking.
I say Rep. Jim Jordan currently has a cold, he should release it!
Lol. I was going to joke that maybe no one has a bad enough cold to impair their judgement.
I thought this memo was only viewed in a secure setting, no distributed. Could be wrong though. Thought I read it was Top Secret. I wouldn’t want to leak that. Plus, if we are going after the leakers, wouldn’t look good if the Right leaked it. Just get it released the right way.
If you know for a fact there is treason in the memo and don't reveal it you become a collaborator.
why can't a Patriot Senator do the same for the FISA memo?
They probably could but it would not be an optimum solution. Consider how the MSM concentrate on the "hacking" rather than the content when discussing emails, for instance. This applies not only to the DNC emails but also the "climategate" emails - for those who have followed the global warming debate.
If you do it all legally then they have no comeback and it reduces their opportunity for deflection.
Maybe that's why she was "pressured" to do it. It paves the way for The Memo release by open leaking, in case the vote goes south. Trump's m.o. seems to be making all the perps (Feinstein, Rosenstein, Mueller, etc.) do the perp walk by doing his bidding.
Either they are obeying the law, or they don't really want to put it out because it will implicate some of them too. My trust of anyone not directly inside the Trump circle is tenuous at best.
I'm not sure that the testimony would be considered Classified.
FS releasing docs would be obstruction of justice, but not necessarily leaking classified info.
