The Hill is reporting that Trump is willing to release it, but not until concerns over classified info in it are addressed.
This article conveniently fails to mention that “minor detail”.

Did he reject the release or just not approve it in a time frame the press wanted?

Hahahaha...Trump sticking it to the little Schiff.

I disagree.

Schiff and the demonrats wrote the letter full of classified information so the President would have to reject it.

Now they can fall all over themselves on cable news accusing the President of not being transparent and hiding the "truth" from the American people to protect himself.

Imagine how 12 years in reality tv prepared Mr. Trump for this role. That’s another problem the rats have. Osama hated his job. Mr. Trump loves it.

Blocked release is not the same as won’t release it...chase the red dot, kitties!

Should be a fun weekend and Libs, MSM will hit themselves in the face with a pie. Hopefully a crap pie.

According to Dan Bongino....
the Dems intentionally put classified i fo in the memo so he wouldn’t release it....
thus triggering a media pile-on.

Of course they are going to do that.
They can’t get their memo out unless they leak it.

It’s still CLASSIFIED.

Tell them No Release, see if it is leaked and by whom.

This is how you tell where it came from. While I worked for a large life insurance company and found out they were thieves and they lost in federal court there were internal documents leaked that blew it for the insurance company. The insurance company gave copies of documents to many internally but they changed where periods and commas were in a few spots as well as cap and not cap words, so what you had was a very customized document for each person. Documents were leaked and a couple different people from the insurance company were fired. I wish they would do that with these docs.

Get ready MSM and Libtards. You are about to be punked.

They are still hyperventilating over some unknown aide who supposedly beat his ex wives to pay attention to anything else. They think they will force Kelly out. Why anyone other than the dude who is being accused should leave is a mystery to me. Kelly didn't beat the guy's wives.

You need to get whatever that link is into .pdf format or similar .. the url that displays will keep anyone with a modicum of computer security concern from d/l it.

No offense, but I won’t touch it unless my browser’s url id says it’s something recognizable.

I agree. It was intended as a trap for Trump. We'll see if it works in the court of public opinion.
