If the apparent Nunes, Grassley, Goodlatte and Horowitz timing remains as previously evidenced, today should be Memo Release Day.
The White House having allowed a full 36 hours of media discussion time to talk through the SoU address, is poised to permit the Executive Branch declassification approval of the Legislative Branch intelligence work product.
In a last minute effort to block the executive approvals, Minority Chair of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff, claimed last night there were changes to the legislative work product.
Intelligence Committee Chairman Nunes shared with Adam Schiff some minor edits to the drafted memo that resulted from the executive branch (FBI Director Wray) making a request upon initial review:

Counting on people not to know the FBI is part of the executive branch, Schiff claimed, wrongly, that any changes made the initial work product contrary to that which was approved for submission by the House Intelligence Committee.
A desperate attempt to stop the declassification by the White House, as quickly pointed out by Chairman Nunes:
JUST IN: Nunes spokesman says the “material changes” cited by Democrats are "minor edits to the memo, including grammatical fixes and two edits requested by the FBI and by the Minority themselves.” https://t.co/VMZnaV94Cb pic.twitter.com/3cbHLIKgHv

In the back-and-forth it becomes evident why we stated last week to pay attention to the process. The memo is classified legislative work product of the legislative branch. The legislative branch is asking the executive branch to declassify the memo.

Sorry, you’re just wrong but that’s okay.
President is authorized to release any classified document.
Period.
It will be out tomorrow it seems, in the morning.
So forget all the demands about another unneeded vote.
Fake news from Schiff et. al.
I know this will be so painful for you but it goes back to the committee tomorrow.Trump approves and it goes back to the committee for release. If words are changed there will absolutely be a new vote, No doubt. If no words are changed then Nunes can release. I think what we have was a request for changes by the FIB and a negotiated change in language that if accepted by the committee cuts the FIB off on any further bitching. I dont want to hear any further complaints by the FIB after the vote accepts their changes with Kelly. I wish you the best this weekend I hope you do not watch the sons of bitches in the nfl steroid freak game. See you Monday. I will not rub it in.
No worries, I anticipate the release Friday with no need for House Intel to revote on Monday.
Don’t want to see the door open for more Rat desperate attacks.
Should be good futbol this weekend. Premiere League heats up. No steroid freaks.
There is no need to revote because tthere are no changes by that arrogant goof ball kelly and the unnamed deep state 5. Trump approved what he was originally sent!! What a genious.
