I was really hoping that they would release the FISA memo today. I have Fox News on, political talk radio on in the background AND I’ve been refreshing Twitter every five minutes. If it’s released, I’m gonna know about it!
Democrats are busy doing everything in their power to stop this from happening. Rep. Adam Schiff even tried to release his own breaking news last night.
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

Dems are freaking, because that’s the version the White House is reviewing.
As it turns out, the edits are minor and largely deal with grammatical errors and stuff of that nature.
“That's an Adam Schiff misdirection there. I talked to Chairman Nunes last night—I can tell you that any changes are not factual and would've been minor and grammatical,” says Rep Mark Meadows, who wants to release the memo as soon as possible. per @kevcirilli

Just talked with House Intel source. Said total changes to memo were: A) Unknown number of 'grammatical and clarifying' fixes. B) One change requested by FBI due to sources & methods concerns. C) One two-word change requested by Democrats for accuracy. House Intel GOP statement: pic.twitter.com/ZkNuMBoLZK

Seems like everything Schiff does is based on misdirection… #FullOfSchiff https://t.co/aDGyjigWYH

The good news? Trump is going to declassify the memo. The bad news? There’s a chance it won’t be released today after all.
Per Fox News’ John Roberts:
SCOOP – @FoxNews IS TOLD @realDonaldTrump WILL DECLASSIFY THE FISA MEMO AND TRANSMIT BACK TO HPSCI TOMORROW MORNING FOR RELEASE

I mean, it could happen today. His scoop could be wrong. (Watch. Trump is totally going to release the memo when I’m in Zumba.)
On the bright side, we’ll probably have our hands on this thing within the next 24 hours, so there’s that.
