Obviously if it implicates the DOJ and FBI, it's a pretty safe bet that the DOJ and FBI aren't going to want it to come out.

It is reported that there are no factual inaccuracies in the memo.

It is however reported that there are omissions that would change the conclusions draw from the data. However I'd like to see what that is... but given the nature of this actual info that is most relevant to ongoing investigations is likely to stay classified for now

All told, 41 Republican House members have said they will either retire or seek another office, compared to 16 Democrats

The FBI has publicly challenged a push by Republican lawmakers to release a controversial memo which purports to show anti-Trump bias at the agency.

"We have grave concerns about the material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo's accuracy," the FBI said in a statement.

A top Trump aide said on Wednesday they would release the top secret document "pretty quick", despite the objections.

Democrats claim the memo is an attempt to discredit the FBI-led Russia probe....

I will second that.

Funny but still sort of sad.

From who?

(Newser) – The debate about whether to release a memo regarding FBI surveillance just took a twist: House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff alleges the White House is debating the release of the wrong memo. In a letter sent to committee chair Devin Nunes, Schiff alleges that on Wednesday his staff realized that the four-page memo President Trump is considering for release had been "secretly altered," making it "materially different" than the version the committee approved for release on Monday. The letter calls it "imperative" that the memo be withdrawn, per CNN. "If the Majority remains intent on releasing its document to the public, despite repeated warnings from DOJ and the FBI, it must hold a new vote to release to the public its modified document," it continues.

Schiff tweeted a copy of his letter, which does not detail how the discovery was initially made. A rep for Nunes says the allegations are essentially hogwash and calls them an "increasingly strange attempt" to keep the memo from seeing the light of day. Per the rep, there were changes made, but they include only fixes to grammar and "two edits requested by the FBI and by the Minority themselves." The Washington Post observes that while congressmen criticize their peers regularly, "rarely does a member literally blow the whistle on another lawmaker in such dramatic fashion in full public view." And it argues that the case of Schiff and Nunes is particularly remarkable, in that the pair were formerly described as having "something of a bromance." Its piece looks at their backgrounds and their seemingly shattered relationship.

Funny but still sort of sad.

Nothing funny about it. Just further proves the truth of the left's narrative that most Trumpers are Nazis and Klansmen.

Republican Bad
Democrat Good

That is all you need to know.

Schiff: Memo Trump Is Reviewing Was 'Secretly Altered'
A rep for Nunes counters the changes were cosmetic

You don't even know what is in it how can you even begin to say it is losing credibility? haha

Anything for libs to downplay this into nothing. I have no idea what is in it and neither do you. Could be a bombshell, could be a nothingburger. We simply do not know.
