Memo wars?
Devin Nunes released his memo, and there wasn’t any disclosures of sensitive or confidential material.
The democrats want their memo to be released by Trump, with no redaction or changes, which democrats know contains confidential information.
What Trump should do is to send the democrats’ memo back to Schiff. Then, Schiff can use the Nunes memo as an example of the type of information that can be contained in a memo. Trump nor the FBI should have to change the memo. Let the democrats modify it to comply with intelligence regulations, and then, Trump can review it and release it if complies expected FBI snd CIA and DOJ regulations.
I submit that Trump must punt to the FBI. The FBI whined about the Nunes Memo which, AFAIK, was and is entirely unexceptionable as far as actually compromising sources and methods.Trump should simply tell the FBI that he has seen that they are highly sensitive to releasing sources and methods, and he will release the Democrat memo exactly as the FBI redacts it.
Trump plays good cop, FBI the bad. Unless of course the FBI allows actual compromise of sources and methods - in which case both Schiff and the FBI will be embarrassed. But not Trump.
That’s the way to play hardball, IMHO. And that is the name of this game.
