Why Can't Schiff Simply Paraphrase the Dem Memo Out Loud?

[tgards79]

When the Nunes memo is released, Schiff is surely going to make a public statement about it and answer questions from reporters. Presumably his statement and his answers will reflect heavily on the Democratic paper that cannot be released due to the vote of the committee. But what prevents Schiff from more or less reading the paper aloud? Or simply listing its major points? (Of course, it may just get conveniently leaked.)

3. Sorry

It WILL be leaked.

5. Yes, of course.

But Schiff's public comments will be covered by CNN.

4. ACLU said somebody should read into the record on the house floor

6. If an adequate rebuttal would require him to reveal classified info

he can't do it. And he wouldn't, since he's a patriot and not a Russian asset.

7. Or simply release it...

like Feinstein did the transcript of Dossier requisitioners.
