Schiff: We're not going to revise Democratic memo
Source: The Hill
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday night that members of his party wont revise their countermemo, despite requests from the White House to do so.
Were not going to make any revisions to it. The only question is what redactions will be made. And obviously wed like to keep those to a minimum, Schiff told reporters.
The White House has a different interest. I think their interest is in redacting anything that doesnt reflect well on the White House, Schiff added.

(50,993 posts)I STILL don't get why the WH is even consulted.
The IC has cleared it.
The committed - republicans AND Democrats - unanimously voted to release it.
They should tell the republican president to screw himself, and they should release it.

(4,423 posts)They need to force the idiot to release it just like he did the GOP memo, everyone wants transparency until it implicates them, I say go for it.

(6,139 posts)its pretty clear that rules no longer apply, dems are not gonna win following the ruels. A massive disinformation campaign sponsored by russia using wikileaks is gonna drop before midterms and it will be much much worse than 2016. Because it now has he support of WH. Can you image if the cards are reversed - no chance in hell reps would be waiting for an approval to release docs that american people have the right to know yesterday. Feinstein is the only one left with the guts??? IMO, Shiff should publicly release the memo and be done with it! The pathological weakness of dancing around this issue gets tired.
