House Republicans are hopeful that a four-page memo allegedly containing "jaw-dropping" revelations about U.S. government surveillance abuses will soon be made public.
Rep. Dave Joyce, a Republican from Ohio, told Fox News on Monday that the intelligence committee plans to work on releasing the document but warned that once Americans see it, theyll be surprised how bad it is.
The process of releasing the memo could take up to 19 congressional working days which puts its release around mid-March. The documents release would first need approval from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who can decide to bring the committee back together for a vote. If the majority of the committee votes to release the memo, it would then be up to President Trump.
If he says yes, the memo can be released.

Obama always said his would be the most open administration. Let’s see what the files hold.
Sent a note to my reps and said ‘I don’t care who gets hurt, release the damn memo’.
Ah, Republicans. When they say they hope to do something, that means...
It must mean something, right? What exactly does it mean?
Reminds me of the “supergroup” Blind Faith.
The group was composed of Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker, Steve Winwood, and Ric Grech. They put out what was actually a very good album, but it was so overhyped for so long that when it finally came out, it inevitably disappointed.
I’m afraid we’re going to see the same thing when and if this memo ever does come out. It occurs to me that this could be the reason for the delay: to reduce any impact it might have.
Oh, please let that happen.
What a bunch of Drama Queens.
If Congress created this document, it can release it.
Just give it to Adam Schiff and let the media know he has it available for purchase.
19 working days gives ex President Zer0 time to move to Qatar, Oman, or Saudi Arabia, which have no extradition treaty with the USA. It gives Bill and Hillary time to buy waterfront property somewhere in the Urals. Putin would probably then commit an Arkancide.
If this memo is as shocking as these loud mouthed Republicans say it is, they’re traitors for not releasing it and saying “To hell with it. Arrest me but the citizens of this country deserve to see it. In fact, I feel like a traitor for not releasing it sooner.”
They could just Feinstein the memo.
Let’s start bringing ‘rats before grand juries in numbers, charging them, convicting them, and sending them away.
Hope is NOT a strategy.
So, that would mean somewhere around mid-August. I guess everyone will forget about it by then and they can bury it.
Nineteen working days to release a 4 page memo?
And they only plan on working 19 days in the next two months?
No wonder they can't get anything done on time!
At that rate it must take them 2 hours just to wipe their own butts.
That’s why I refer to Reps and Dims alike as “our irredeemably corrupt and depraved political class.”
Well hurry it up.
It must be bad or someone would have leaked it by now.
And just what is the “process” which takes so long - step by step???
