I say it will be released on Feb 5th. Let the meathead media experts speculate Sunday....and give away their "leakers" in the process.
Wonder what Comey is thinking today. That sh**a**.
That makes sense to me. Once the 5 days are done, the House can release it at their leisure. Wait for max impact.
Wrong, there is nothing unnatural about the President granting early acquiescence and releasing the memo within the 5 day period. Holding up editing or making pro forma changes is entirely within the prerogative of the President and the President only.
The intent of the law is that the committee votes to make it public, the President has the opportunity to review and approve or disprove within a 5 day period. If after 1 day he says okay, release, then it can be released. The 5 Days is like a pocket veto if he lets it expire without granting release. Then the whole house would vote on it to override. I don’t know if it’s a majority or some higher threshold.
What should be concerning is the crying going on about national security. There is nothing in that memo that deals with national security, its all about agency embarrassment and the implication of the previous administration.
Nobody, but for a very few want to initiate the custom of prosecuting the previous administration for misdeeds. That’s what this is all about.
