Yet another story that incorrectly implies or reports that President Trump is releasing the memo.

Uh, no.

It is the House’s memo. They, and only they, get to decide to release it.

The rules required giving the President 5 days to decide if he objected to it being released. (He has not objected, and will not.)

So it can now be released by the House, which is what they are planning to do on Friday.

Had the President objected, the full House could still vote to release it, over POTUS’ objection.

But the President is not the one who will release it, nor can he stop the House from deciding to release it over his objection.

A lot of establishment types jumping onboard but they’re all very insistent that it’s somehow Trump’s memo and that he’s deciding to release it. Everybody on here’s so hung-ho wanting to know what’s in it that they’re not picking up on some disturbing cues. The release of this House memo is the decision of the House, not Trump.
