I thought the committee was going to meet this morning to revote on the “modified” version..with trump releasing it after
Understandable due to all the mixed up and conflicting press reports.
Trump is not going to release it. It's not his to release. It was his to object to. I read a report that the WH "sent it back to the committee for them to release on their schedule."
Ahh, found it ...
Administration officials tell me #GOPMemo will be sent back to House Intelligence Committee on Friday with redactions from the #WH based on internal consultations w @FBI & other agencies. WH will not "release" memo but send it back to committee for it to release on its timetable

That corresponds with the House procedure that this memo is tracking. News reports are ALWAYS false when it comes to process and procedure. Statements from people who know better are USUALLY false when it comes to process and procedure. If you want to understand the process or procedure, read the applicable parts of the law, regulation, or whatever sets up the process. In this case, House Rules.
We don't know if the memo was sent back with objections or not. I believe there were no objections communicated following the details in the relevant procedure - there are no redactions, that would slow the release, and dilute the value to public debate. But if there are, then there will be a committee vote to decide how to handle the president's objections. There would have to be a meeting.
I'm not saying it's impossible for the memo to be disclosed to the public today, just that it is, IMO, highly unlikely.
The House is not in session, and I think the DEMs can stifle the appearance of a quorum at a a committee meeting.
