Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, is not going to fully heed the White House's request to revise the Democratic rebuttal to the FISA memo.
That four-page memo, authored by Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA), detailed how the FBI violated FISA when seeking warrants to spy on Trump campaign members. They reportedly used an unsubstantiated dossier tying then-candidate Trump to the Kremlin. President Trump said the Republican document vindicated him from claims he colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. Democrats, however, attempted to release their 10-page rebuttal, insisting it included context the Republicans omitted. But, Trump blocked it Friday, citing national security concerns. If they revise and redact it, he'll reconsider, White House counsel Don McGahn said at the time.
Schiff said at least one of those things is not going to happen.

He is lying again.
He WILL have the necessary info redacted.
That IS “Revision”.
Didn’t he say release of Nunes memos will cause serious harm to our nation’s security? He thinks his lies will straighten things out? This guy is full of schiff.
Trump should call his bluff.
Declassify the whole thing.
His Leftist friends inside the intel agencies
will start soiling their britches and he will back down.
Trump doesn’t need to do anything.
It’s been about a week and Schiff is still spinning his wheels.
The only “meat” in the Dem memo was top secret material that would have to be redacted for security. It’s a paper tiger. Glad PRESIDENT TRUMP called him on it.
Oh, well.
Why doesn’t they lying bastard just leak it like everything else?
I agree. Call Schifftys bluff and release it as is.
Easy trap for Trump to escape, bad trap the democrats are going to fall into.
When the President declines to release the document the committee has the ability and method to present it to the whole house to vote on.
How many DNC house members are going to put themselves on record to keep it secret. It’s a win win for republicans.
What a Schiffhole.
Schiffhead is smart enough to know this whole scandal could blow up in their faces. It’s just more delaying tactics and biding for time until a new narrative can be set against Trump.
Let it die on the vine.
Ignore it.
Don’t respond to questions, except to say awaiting the Democrat revision.
If Trump does nothing in 5 days, is it then automatic it gets released?
What’s the legal procedure here?
Good luck with that, bugeyes.
Wringing every last drop of controversy out of that worthless stack of paper.
No, if Trump does nothing in 5 days it goes back to the full House and they can vote to release without Trump approval.
Euphemism for: “Schiff. Already leaked it!!!!!”
Yep......
It will wither with no real consequential recourse
The President is the chief executive in charge of our intelligence agencies, and is responsible for the classification and declassification of information produced by those agencies. If the President doesn't approve it being released, it stays classified.
