Republican members of Congress, mostly conservative, are calling for the release of a brief memo written by the House Intelligence Committee about alleged FISA surveillance abuses. The committee had voted along party lines Thursday to allow House members to read the memo. [snip]
But the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California, characterized the memo as misleading and inaccurate. The committee, Schiff explained, had voted Thursday along party lines "to grant House Members access to a profoundly misleading set of talking points drafted by Republican staff attacking the FBI and its handling of the investigation."
"Rife with factual inaccuracies and referencing highly classified materials that most of Republican Intelligence Committee members were forced to acknowledge they had never read, this is meant only to give Republican House members a distorted view of the FBI," Schiff's statement said. "This may help carry White House water, but it is a deep disservice to our law enforcement professionals."

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.
I’m Telling you if this had been done to Obongo a copy of the memo would have been mailed to the public by now.
It would be posted in Times Square if it implicated Trump.
Adam Schiff is spinning so fast his head may come off.
"Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., offered the motion on Thursday to make the Republican majority-authored report available to the members.

Obama had both parties working for him.
Schiff is testing which talking point works best for the MSM stooges to adopt. When they pick it you’ll hear the stooge chorus in perfect harmony singing it.
“We want this evidence to be released now. We want to know who in the FBI broke the law and used FISA as a tool to spie on the Republicans!! Why the delay?”
Yes, we want it released NOW.
Just do what democrats always do (see Senator Feinstein) just leak it to the press and then say you did it for the good of the country because (you decided) the good of the country outweighed national security...
Is it mean spirited and highly edited?
Obviously, the Democrats are shaking in their boots over this.
It’s a four page summary,...not that “brief.”
It appears you are absolutely correct!
Thank you very much for the correction!
Apparently, some in the committee (?) used the actual evidence that was belatedly provided by the DOJ to write the memo. It will surely be criticized as partisan, so the underlying evidence will need to eventually be revealed as well. I suspect it will.
Thanks again for the correction!

Interesting.
'Xactly Friend!
Fienstein released the Simpson testimony— Just release this like — like that!!! This is national security!!
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.
I don’t see how they can’t release it. It is critical for the state of democracy that it be released.
LOL! The Dem cats-paw is telling us that the Truth hurts so it should be suppressed...
