Might be easier and faster if POTUS can simply declassify it.
Even if they release “it”, we’ll NEVER know what is in it. There is no rule of law, transparency or truth left in this government for the past nine years. Or longer.
“Might be easier and faster if POTUS can simply declassify it.”
Absllutely! And do it today!
Trump won't do it!
We may get to see before the night is over.
“BREAKING: Rep @Jim_Jordan says the memo, application, all of it could be released today. #ReleasetheMemo
1:38 PM - 19 Jan 2018 “

When people start to sweat getting caught, they make mistakes. Maybe Trump is enjoying letting them hang in the wind for awhile to see what happens.
The memo will be released.
He probably could, but it would be far more right and proper for the House committee to release the memo.
If the President goes over their heads and does it, it looks like he's on the defense, and going around Congress. Not a good appearance, politically, as the release will obviously benefit him.
Much better for him to calmly hold his position, and allow the people's representatives do the honorable thing.
There's also timing to be considered. The government shutdown is currently sucking up all the oxygen in the media. It's important that the release happens at a moment in the news cycle where it will create the maximum impact on the public.
