“I’ll bet Friday night is the uniparty’s preference.”

I think the uniparty’s preference is to not release it at all so don’t be surprised if they don’t. I think they are waiting while hoping a rat Judge will step in and block it citing “classified content”. Ryan was out there praising Rosenstein yesterday and saying the GOP shouldn’t over its hand..as if.

The select committee may disclose publicly such information after the expiration of a five-day period following the day on which notice of the vote to disclose is transmitted to the President
It is possible to read that as requiring a wait until Saturday (I did, so it is possible).

IMHO, to it strains credulity to the breaking point to suppose that the committee would vote to release the memo - and then decline to actually do so after going through all the necessary hoops (which I thought included a vote by the whole House) to enable it to do so.

  1. Who brings the issue before what court???? A member of the minority of the committee is going to sue the majority, and be granted standing?

  2. Who punishes the Congressman who "leaks” the memo in defiance of this putative court? And once it is leaked and your constituents know its contents, how do you explain to your voters why they shoulda been kept in the dark?
