If we're lucky and the vote in the committee passes, they won't have to look to the full house to pass releasing the memo, as I understand it. Which, of course, I might not.

Can’t the President declassify it by executive order?

Is Peter King mentally stable? He often does not look or sound to be.

Was not King the RINO who also
got rid of incandescent light bulbs?

How much money did he make off that?

The “memo” should not be released.

What we want is for the guilty to be indicted, arrested, tried, convicted, and punished. Releasing a Republican staff memorandum authored without minority staff participation cannot accomplish any of these things, and, what’s worse, could taint any future prosecutions to the point that the bad guys get off scot free.

And the Watergate precedent is not a precedent at all. Whatever you think about Nixon’s engineered removal, the Congress elected in 1972 had every right to investigate a sitting President for the purpose of determining if the high crimes and misdemeanors standard had been met,

But Congress by its nature is not a law enforcement body. Congress cannot convene a Grand Jury, cannot issue indictments, cannot arrest citizens charged with crimes, cannot prosecute them in Federal or state courts, cannot pass sentence, etc.

And, if this memo is released, the minority staff will scream bloody murder, as we would do if the circumstances were reversed. And they would be right to do so.

I do not believe this coup attempt is over, and I believe it will wind up having to be ended by force. But Congress is no good at that, either.

If law enforcement can deal with this, it will, If it can’t, we need the USMC. But in either event, Congress should sit down and shut up. They can’t do anything useful.

we’re ready to instantly condemn anyone that urges simple caution before releasing this classified document that says we-don’t-know-what.

it seems like immediate uninformed condemnation is about all we we do around here any more.

The pressure Gaetz and the others are bringing to release the memo is so great that there is little King and his Democrat friends can do to stop its release. End of story.

RINO Republicans Help Democrats To Keep Memo Locked Up

I'm praying that the delay in releasing 'The Memo' is due to the fact that indictments are being sought.

But I suspect, it is to give cover to the guilty and time for them to destroy further incriminating evidence.

Diane Feinstein dumped the classified GPS testimony without permission and, seemingly, with impunity just by saying she personally decided the merits of releasing it outweighed the risks to national security.

Perhaps a Republican should do the same with this....

Correct me if I’m wrong. But I believe Trump can declassify (and likely will once all congress critters are on record that oppose it) and then anyone who’s seen it can release it.

Trump is the POTUS. He has the power to declassify ANYTHING.

People in NY seem to view this King as “the loyal opposition,” but he’s more loyal to the Democrats than he is “the opposition.” I doubt many in NY will ever figure it out.
