Letter at link.

President Trump is not ready to approve the release of a Democratic memo meant to rebut a controversial document released by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee last week, the White House announced.

White House counsel Don McGahn announced the decision in a letter to House Intelligence Committee Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) on Friday.

"Although the President is inclined to declassify the February 5th Memorandum, because the Memorandum contains numerous properly classified and especially sensitive passages, he is unable to do so at this time," McGahn wrote.

Heh heh. Of course, it can always go back to a vote in the entire House. I’d laugh my butt off if it was turned down there, but the Republicans don’t have the stones.

Some Freepers called this shot that the RAT memo would have would have classified and sensitive passages in it.

Fell right into the Democrats trap. Now it’s going to be “What is Trump trying to hide?” in the media 24x7.

Better for MSM to waste time on this nothingburger, than to talk about the stock market or Rob Porter.

Yep, I’ve no doubt Schiffhead purposely left material in the memo he knew was classified.

That’s probably ALL that is in there, other than Trump and Nunes are poopy-heads

Schiff has already blabbed their rebuttal to a dozen media sources

Of course Schiff did that.

Trump holds the cards because he has declassification authority.

Pass on another chance to take shots at the President? What media outlet is going to pass on that chance?
