After millions of Americans called on Congress to release the bombshell FISA abuse memo, Rep. Dave Joyce (R-OH) announced Saturday that the process has officially begun.
“Great news! Our efforts to #ReleaseTheMemo have been effective and the HPSIC plans to begin the process to release the FBI/FISA/Russia memo. This may take up to 19+ Congressional work days but Americans deserve to know the truth,” tweeted Joyce. On Friday, Republican lawmakers started publically lobbying Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes to release the memo.
“Earlier this morning, I examined the classified, four-page memo from @HouseIntelComm regarding the FBI, DOJ, and the so-called #RussianCollusion. To put it simply, “WOW.” I joined the call to #ReleaseTheMemo. Americans deserve truth and transparency,” tweeted Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA).
The letter was signed by Steve King, Matt Gaetz, Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Ted Yoho, Jody Hice, Louie Gohmert, Barry Loudermilk and Brian Babin, reports Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit.

Your explanation makes sense. Thank you.
I must remain patient!
“I do not understand why it would take 19 working days.”

“I am going to hazard a guess. If the memo contains classified intelligence then only the originating agency can approve the release.”

For what it’s worth:
“Republicans Have Four Easy Ways to #ReleaseTheMemo” (shortened title)
1. Trump can declassify anything he wants.
2. The House (and Senate) intelligence committees can declassify any material they possess.
3. The Constitution protects members of Congress from prosecution for “any speech or debate in either House.”
4. Republicans can leak everything to the news media.

At a Washington dinner party somebody asked President Carter why he’d done something and he answered, “Well, we know from Muammar Gaddafi’s brother in law...” The man was arrested and tortured to death. President Kennedy wanted to know if the Russians would really risk war over Cuba, so he asked the British to contact their agent in Stalin’s inner circle. While we found out that they weren’t going to war over Cuba, it got the man arrested and tortured to death.
Just because you can do something, does not mean it is without consequences for other people. When dealing with classified information, it’s always smart to follow the process; dot all the i’s and cross all the t’s. We can wait nineteen days. It won’t kill anybody to wait.
“I don’t get “conservatives” who advocate breaking the law when it suits their purpose.”
We’re in a post Constitutional period in America. The left has destroyed the rule of law. They are in an undeclared war on the United States of America. They’re in open rebellion.
America is hanging by a thread...Do we keep playing by the marquis of queensbury rules? I think not.
Extremism in the defense of liberty, America and the Constitution is no vice...

Just passing along the article. Though I think the point of the article is a good one. That is, Republicans are tweeting complaints about something they have complete control over.
Also, it should be kept in mind that it’s a memo that they (Republicans) drew up from intelligence reports, it’s a summary of things they want to highlight and not the raw info itself.
So, if they do release it, look for complaints from Dems and the Media (redundant, I know) that it’s contents were taken out of context and dismissed as they do with all of O’Keefe’s sting undercover videos.
I’m not much for shooting messengers, especially when they are correct with the delivered news; which of the four listed options do you not believe Republicans can do?
I just posted a counterpoint to the message you offered. Which of the four listed options do you think SHOULD be used? Rhetorical question, I'm not open to converse on the subject.
bkmk
That sounds like something a pussy hat wearing occutard would say.
Pussy hat wearing pussies are those when hit repeatedly in the balls turn the other cheek to take it in the ass.
Sound familiar?
Sound familiar?
Not at all, but you seem to have a certain familiarity with the procedure. lol
It will be so heavily redacted I doubt any of it will be that juicy.
Rep. Adam Schiff’s Congressional Career Aided by Soros-Financed Groups

Rep. Adam Schiff, the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, was previously financially aided by the George Soros-financed MoveOn.org to win his Congressional seat.
Schiff was also awarded the Toll Fellowship, which is sponsored by the Council of State Governments, a nonprofit that monitors federal government activities and is heavily financed by Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
The Open Society and Soros-funded groups have additionally supported a number of Schiff’s legislative efforts.

Hey pussy hat! What do you have to say for yourself now that the memo has been released? A whole ten days after your little hissy fit. Nothing blacked out!
Well are you the delicate little flower that ratted me out?
In almost 18 years on FR that was the first time I’ve had a comment deleted by the admin mod. lol
