Two sources directly involved in the process say the GOP-authored House Intelligence Committee memo will not be released Thursday. The plan now is for the White House to return the memo – with redactions approved in consultation with the FBI – to the Intelligence Committee Friday.
The memo will not be released by the White House. House Intelligence Committee Republicans will determine the timetable and procedure for making the memo public.
The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee is objecting to the memo's release, claiming Wednesday there were "material changes" made to the memo after the committee voted on its release, but before the Republican majority sent the memo to the White House for review earlier this week. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-California demanded another vote be held on the release of what he's referring to as the "modified document." Schiff wants the memo, as delivered to the White House, be withdrawn and proposed that a new vote be held on Monday, Feb. 5.

Jeez! If the Dems wanted this out, it would have been released/leaked last week!!
DAMMIT!
Just release it. Ignore this Schiffhead.
Oh great. The FBI gets to scrub it.
Redactions??? nooooooooo.......
Well let’s hope they do not affect the impact.... sometimes the “fill in the blanks” process can draw more attention and discussion!
If your gonna shoot then shoot, don’t talk.
It’s all a big nothing. Jokes on us.
This is how you gin up publicity.
Relax, you’re soaking in it...
I hope the sources are wrong, or that this is just fake news. Boo of true.
Ditto.
That explains the delay until Friday. However, all they need is a quick rubber-stamp vote on Friday, and Trump can release it 5 minutes later.
They want to remove Pencil Neck’s talking points.
This is the fakenews media’s wordsmithing to give the wrong impression.
The President has signed off on the memo and returned it to Nunes for release tomorrow.
Free The Memo!!!
No redactions. None.
Let the sun shine in.
If the WH made changes or redactions then the house needs to vote on the release of the amended memo. I think Trump is just covering his butt so the Demorats can’t scream “obstruction “ or some other nonsense.
Let the tension build. This is going to come out soon.
If it were a Demtard memo it would have been leaked immediately.
“GOP Authored”
There are very important national security issues there—you don’t need to know the sources and methods of illegal domestic spying, do you? :-(
The longer Schiff can postpone it, the longer he stays out of jail.
Al Capone’s vault.
