Conservative Republicans are pushing to release a memo containing classified information about the federal investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign, sparking new controversy in a case that has already caused deep partisan rifts.
The contents of the four-page memo, which was written by staff working with Rep. Devin Nunes have not been publicly revealed. But President Trump’s allies in Congress say that they are explosive.
Democrats on the committee have dismissed the memo as a dishonest attempt to undermine the Russia investigation, and Rep. Jackie Speier called it a “pack of lies.”
Rep. Matt Gaetz said the information was “jaw-dropping.” Rep. Darrell Issa said Americans would be “outraged” if they read the memo.
But Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin), another committee member, said the memo was filled with misinformation and should not be released.
“It is a perversion of the facts to brainwash our members and protect the president,” he said.

Release the memo AND the documents it summarizes. That way, everyone can see just what the material is, and no one can claim the memo is suspect.
It is not a Republican memo you lying pricks. It came from the committee.
“”Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Dublin),””
I do not like this guy. He’s going to spell trouble in coming years and I bet he will be running for president.
Interesting. After about 18 hours of ignoring the Memo, the MSM is now trying to delegitimize it in advance. Knowing nothing about it, of course.
They’ve dicked around with this long enough for the Democrats to convince everyone it’s Russian propaganda.
All of Congress is able to read the Memo - only Republican house members has chosen to do so. The House Democrat comrades already know what’s in it.
Nunez read it nearly a year ago. Ryan let Schiff tie him up in a phony ethics charge until this month.
We have no idea who owns the people we elect.
since the don't actually know what is in it they are fee to speculate just as we are. Learn how to play the game. 😎
