I'm prepared to be underwhelmed by its contents.

It won't be released today

"BREAKING: Discovered late tonight that Chairman Nunes made material changes to the memo he sent to White House – changes not approved by the Committee," Schiff said in a tweet late Wednesday. "White House therefore reviewing a document the Committee has not approved for release."

Schiff also shared a copy of a letter he sent to Nunes on Wednesday claiming that the Democrats on the committee learned that the classified memo shared by the committee majority with the White House did not feature the same content that House members had reviewed before voting to release it to the public earlier this week.

"After reviewing both versions, it is clear that the Majority made material change to the version it sent to the White House, which Committee Members never apprised of, never had the opportunity to review, and never approved," the letter says. "This is deeply troubling because it means that the Committee Majority transmitted to the White House an altered version of its classified document that is materially different than the version on which the Committee voted. The White House has therefore been reviewing a document since Monday night that the Committee never approved for public release."

"While the Majority’s changes do not correct the profound distortions and inaccuracies in your document, they are nonetheless substantive," the letter continues. "The fact that the Majority found it necessary to make these changes without informing the Committee during the vote signifies that the Committee Majority no longer stands by the representation it has made to House Members in its original document and felt it necessary to deceive Committee Members during Monday’s vote, by withholding the fact that it planned to send a different document to the White House."

That could very well be, it's been reported that the memo the WH is reviewing is not the same memo the HIC voted on to release. Whatever happens, it's sure to be a chitshow.

Adam Schiff accuses Devin Nunes of making 'material changes' to memo given to White House

their response is that the changes they made were at the request of the FBI and democrats

Moot

Pencilneck Schiff will be exposed as the lyin' weasel he is.

their response is that the changes they made were at the request of the FBI and democrats

Either the memo is false and the people who crafted it will be discredited or the memo is true and the people directed in it have been insubordination in their actions

If the memo is a lie, then the FBI would not have "grave concerns" about its release.

CORRECT. All the democrats and the FBI Swamp are doing is stalling..

Pencilneck Schiff will be exposed as the lyin' weasel he is.

The Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee refused to answer when a colleague asked him if he had coordinated his incendiary surveillance memo with the White House, The Daily Beast has learned.

Memo drop tomorrow. What do you think it's gonna say?

Wray already fired McCabe over it.

It must have some credibility...

We ALREADY know what it says.

The FBI & DOJ tipped the scales for Hillary.

They illegally spied on Trump because they were weaponized by the Obama Administration.

The top FBI & DOJ officials were and are corrupt and shredded the Constitution for their agenda of Big Govt.

Nunes might get exposed as well. This memo might end up the same way Nune's "unmasking" claims went last spring.

The Daily Beast's headline, subheadline, and lede about the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee refusing to answer a question are all false.
JANUARY 31, 2018 By Mollie Hemingway
Once again, reporters got burned by believing anonymous Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

Betsy Woodruff and Spencer Ackerman of The Daily Beast credulously believed their “sources familiar with the exchange,” who said Republican Rep. Devin Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, refused to deny he had coordinated with the White House when putting together a memo alleging surveillance and law enforcement abuses at the FBI.

In fact, Nunes explicitly denied the charge before shutting down the line of questioning in order to provide other members who were not trying to hijack the hearing time to get actual committee business done.

According to a transcript of the meeting, the Daily Beast’s headline, subheadline, and lede are all false. The headline was “Devin Nunes Won’t Say If He Worked With White House on Anti-FBI Memo.” The subhead was “The House intel committee GOP leader refused to answer behind closed doors if he coordinated with the president’s team on his report blasting Rosenstein, Comey, and McCabe.” The lede is “The Republican chairman of the House intelligence committee refused to answer when a colleague asked him if he had coordinated his incendiary surveillance memo with the White House, The Daily Beast has learned.” But that apparently wasn’t enough, as the Daily Beast even blared “non-denial” above the headline in bright red font.


Contrary to what the Daily Beast claims, which is that Nunes refused to answer, the transcript shows he explicitly denied the charge, saying, “I would just answer, as far as I know, no.”

After repeating the Nunes-specific false claims three times, Woodruff and Ackerman claimed more narrowly:

During Monday’s contentious closed-door committee meeting, Rep. Mike Quigley, a Democrat, asked Nunes point-blank if his staffers had been talking with the White House as they compiled a four-page memo alleging FBI and Justice Department abuses over surveillance of President Trump’s allies in the Russia probe.

According to sources familiar with the exchange, Nunes made a few comments that didn’t answer the question before finally responding, “I’m not answering.”

Additionally, the quote attributed to Nunes by the Daily Beast, “I’m not answering,” appears nowhere in the exchange according to a transcript of the meeting. A review of the transcript makes clear that Nunes answered the question before returning to committee business and allowing other members to speak about the pending business or make additional motions. You can see for yourself here:



When the transcript came to light, Woodruff defended her original reporting by ignoring the many falsehoods prominently featured in her story, conveniently omitting the accusation which she originally reported Nunes refused to deny.

This publication of false information based on anonymous Democratic sources on the Intelligence Committee is reminiscent of CNN’s embarrassing publication of a claim that Donald Trump, Jr., had colluded to publicize a new Wikileaks stash of hacked emails ahead of its public release. In that case, CNN claimed two independent sources. But it turned out that these two supposedly independent sources had provided false information about the email’s date. The correct date, after the public release of those records, completely destroyed the claim. CNN has still not revealed which sources lied to the network and its audience by providing false information, or why the network publicized information without first verifying whether it was even true.

The Daily Beast has also published false information when it accused Chairman Nunes of sneaking to the White House at midnight to secretly review top-secret documents. Rep. Adam Schiff, who is plausibly the source of this false claim, repeated the false claim earlier this week. In fact, Nunes reviewed the documents during daylight hours, as he corrected the record publicly on CNN in April. In that case, it was Tim Mak who credulously accepted false information without verifying it.

The entire transcript of the Monday hearing is available for review here.

Nunes might get exposed as well. This memo might end up the same way Nune's "unmasking" claims went last spring.



At this point my speculation is that the memo will end up being a real party pooper, all salt and no tequila. Which party gets pooped on remains to be seen.

Ha. Not hardly. Most Rs are saying to release it. ALL dumascraps are decrying the proposed leak of the truth. Ask a kid why that would be, since youre obviously to stupid to figure it out by yourself, or are you just that much of a disingenuous liar?
