12. "Hopefully?" You mean like Schiff, Heck and Stallwell have done?

And the others who are drafting a counter memo?

For their part, committee Democrats called their memo "a counter-argument to all of the errors and inaccuracies in the majority memo" (Rep. Denny Heck of Washington) and "a mountain of evidence in the Trump-Russia investigation" (Rep. Eric Swalwell of California) and "an accurate rendition of the underlying facts" (Schiff).

And right there in the OP so one doesn't even need to click to see it:

“I commend Ranking Member Schiff and other Intelligence Committee Democrats for insisting that all documents be reviewed and appropriately redacted before being released. Democrats remain committed to ensuring that the integrity of the Special Counsel and Congressional investigations is not compromised by an unsubstantiated, partisan smear campaign.”

Why so pessimistic about Democrats that you think it requires "hope" rather than expecting that they will do this?

I'm speaking about ALL Democrats. My understanding is that this isn't 'politics as usual'. jalan48 Jan 2018 #15
