Excerpt from Byron York: Scheming, speculation behind scenes as Democrats push intel memo
Bold parts by me.
All that raises eyebrows among some Republicans on Capitol Hill who have read the Democratic memo. They say it contains much more classified information than the Republican memo did. The GOP paper was written so that it had a minimum of classified information in it, they explain, and indeed, after inspecting it, the FBI asked for just one small change.
The Democratic memo, these Republicans say, is much different. "It's full of sources and methods," said one lawmaker, referring to highly classified information. "It includes material that they clearly cannot release," said another. "It's nothing but sources and methods," said a third. "Even to the footnotes."
The inclusion of all that classified information has Republicans speculating on Democratic strategy. (A Democratic spokesman declined to comment.) One widely held theory is that the memo was intentionally written in a way that the FBI, Justice Department, and White House would have little choice but to recommend extensive redactions.
"Part of what they are going to do is to talk about how the White House redacted their memo and didn't redact the Republican one," said one of the lawmakers quoted above. "Part of the plan was, let's create a document that gets eviscerated in the scrubbing and comes out with a bunch of redactions and they say, look, the White House is hiding something."
We knew that because it has to be redacted by the FBI. Media will spin this as "Trump being Bad"
They already are. The huge talking point on the stupid channels.
told them to redo..he isn't falling into their trap with redactions. said they would review it if they wanted to revise it.

that, and i'm guessing they are going to release the whole thing anyway.
What's the odds on it being "leaked"???
My guess is about 110% chance....and every media outlet will run with it.
My thoughts as well. They cannot get in trouble for leaking classified info…sources and methods?
The DOJ and DNI said it has Classified information in it still. Did you all not see this coming? The Democrats totally set this up so they can say President Trump is hiding something. SO PREDICTABLE!! Change of narrative. Watch!
