Where exactly did the memo originate?

It was written by the House Intelligence Committee.

Sorry good friend but I don't think that's correct. It was written by someone or some group in the DOJ. The House Intelligence Committee had to subpoena it, and other things like it, way back in the summer. The DOJ still refused to release it, until Congress was threatening to hold the DOJ and Sessions et al in contempt, which would have been unprecedented since the Congress and the Executive Branch are led by the same party, It could have given Trump enough political cover to fire Rosenstein, for example.

So after So Rosenstein and FBI director Wray went to Paul Ryan to beg the contempt charges be dropped, so this report could remain private, but Ryan forced their hand and the DOJ released it.

Bur it remains unknown who actually wrote it. Chances are it wasn't Rosenstien, is all we really know. But we need to, because once the report is released, that person or group of persons will be attacked for their analysis, because that's all a memo actually is.

Ohhhh. That changes the intent from libs point of view. I was mistaken in thinking the memo came from someone high up in doj intel. I guess the reaction to it will determine if it’s based on facts.
