President Trump is expected to swiftly declassify a controversial memo on purported surveillance abuses, sources tell Fox News, even as Democrats raise objections that edits were made to the document since it was approved for release by a key committee.
Those objections fueled a new round of partisan recriminations on Thursday, with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi firing off a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding the chairman of that committee, Republican Devin Nunes, be removed.
“Chairman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be immediately removed from this position,” she wrote.
But the objections don’t appear to be halting the publication plans.
The release is likely to come Friday morning, Fox News is told.
Trump already had made clear he supports the release of the document, but the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee late Wednesday charged that Nunes made "material changes" to the memo.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who opposes the memo’s release in any form, wrote that the committee’s minority determined the letter was not “the same document” its members have been reviewing since mid-January. Nunes' office countered that the changes were minor and blasted the complaint as a “bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo.”

Vote on it again today, and release it today.
Pelosi should be challenged on the floor, by Ryan personally, to detail Nunes supposed “deliberately dishonest actions” that make him unfit for the position.
And then afford Nunes the opportunity to respond.
Fireworks.
Pelosi is too dumb and doped and old to make a cogent argument.
I saw the same photo in a meme, but it said that “this is the face you make when you mix up your Polident with your Preparation H.”
Wow, did the Dems REALLY screw themselves over with horrible optics on Tuesday night!
“You will see Trump go out of his way to trigger the media in his own special way and as the dolts they are they will publicize the Memo when its released.
Timing....it’s all about timing.”
Pelosi demands that Nunes be removed, then Trump, then Ryan, then the rest of the Republicans.
Thank God that these would-be dictators are not in charge.
Don't doubt me!
First my dream of a Oprah presidency.
And now Chuck.
I don’t know how much more I can take!
Wait Giillibrand might run?
Gillibrand/Booker.
The dream lives!
Silly Gilly Gillibrand's IQ is about 50.
Nanzi says the memo is “Just crumbs, not worth your notice”.
They are scared, it’s all starting to fall apart and now
they are making even more mistakes!
Wow..that’s twice as much as pelosi!
“It will take months, if not years, to pry loose the actual documents”
I think that the supporting case will be documented in the DoJ IG report, which is due out soon - well in time for the election year cycle. The IG has been working on this for a year, with mountains of documentation.
This memo is just the start of a media rollout plan, for what is already prepared. Once abuses and crimes are revealed, corrective action must be taken - firings and criminal investigations (perhaps a special counsel).
I think that the Republicans will be turning over rocks and exposing wormy Democrat scandals for the whole rest of this election cycle. I hope they time a particularly big one for October.
Nancy Pelosi is a deranged, lying SOS.
Don’t doubt me!
><
Why would I doubt you? .... Just kidding.
No Dem that I know of is a decent human being.
Nancy Pelosi:
“Chairman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be immediately removed from this position.”
INSANE?
There is NO ONE more deliberately dishonest in the entire government than Nancy Pelosi......
“We have to pass it before you can see what is in it”.
She lies when the truth would serve her better.
She lies about living in the district she represents....is there no remedy for her doing such???
She lies about anything & everything.
Her agony over this memo tells us all that it is really damaging-—especially to the Dems.
Christmas in February? Who knew???
