According to this, all of you Russian bots who were pretending to want the memo to come out (that was sarcasm, by the way), you may get your wish today!
Here’s the scoop according to source:
A Republican memo alleging anti-Trump bias at the FBI and U.S. Justice department is likely to be released on Thursday, an official of President Donald Trumps administration said on Wednesday.
The FBI said earlier on Wednesday it had “grave concerns” about the accuracy of the top-secret House Intelligence Committee memo, challenging President Donald Trump’s pledge to release it.
I love SO MUCH that the FBI has “grave concerns.”
And so does Adam Schiff, apparently (SHOCKER). He’s claiming now that Nunes made changes to the original memo, so waaaaaaaaah! Don’t release it, because there’s stuff in it I don’t want people to seeeee OMG!
BREAKING: Discovered late tonight that Chairman Nunes made material changes to the memo he sent to White House – changes not approved by the Committee. White House therefore reviewing a document the Committee has not approved for release. pic.twitter.com/llhQK9L7l6

Yep. He’s doing whatever he can to make this not happen:
The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee late Wednesday charged that the committee’s chairman made “material changes” to a controversial memo sent to the White House that is purportedly critical of the FBI’s use of surveillance during the 2016 presidential campaign.
U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., made the charge over Twitter and sent the committee a formal letter. Schiff said Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., the comittee’s chairman, made edits to the memo.
Schiff, who earlier called on Nunes to withdraw the memo, wrote that the committee’s minority determined that the letter was not “the same document” that its members have been reviewing since mid-January.
“The White House has therefore been reviewing a document since Monday night that the committee never approved for public release,” Schiff wrote. He continued, “While the majority’s changes do not correct the profound distortions and inaccuracies in your document, they are nonetheless substantive.”
Methinks he doth protest too much.
