The process can be very short - the House Intelligence Committee votes to release. The Executive branch (Trump) has 5 days to okay or not. Jay Sekulow, a Trump lawyer, thinks Trump will okay it. If that happens, it’s released. If Trump does not okay release, then the full House has to vote to override Trump & then I think you’re getting into the 19 day scenario. Personally, I think the memo should be out there in the public BEFORE the State of the Union speech.

Well, if you take a longer view, there is no rush to release the Memo or the supporting documentation. Sundance has done a very good job of addressing most of the issues with FISA.

1. There are numerous ways to get information from the SECRET SURVEILLANCE DATABASE WITHOUT getting a FISA warent and virtually Anyone in the Fed. G'ment can ask for this info.

2. Mid-term elections are coming - There are a number of RINOs that need to be replaced and there are a number of Democrat senators that will be replaced

I get Sundance’s posts via email so I don’t miss any of them. He’s got the best posts/timelines out there, as far as I’ve found, so I know where you’re coming from with your comments.

The reason I think memo release before the SOTU is that the Dems are going to milk it for all they’re worth if the government is still in shutdown mode & since they’re not “winning” short term & stampeding the Repubs into giving in like they’ve done in the past, I think they’ll shoot for running the shutdown through Jan. 30 (SOTU). IF the memo is released before, from what everyone who has seen it is saying, the Dems will be back on their heels but good, the media ‘muh Russia’ memes will be blown to bits & Trump will definitely have the upper hand.
