      Over 200 people have read the memo that Burr, DOJ, and FBI were not permitted to see that CNN claims is closely guarded. https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/24/politics/richard-burr-devin-nunes-fisa-memo/index.html …pic.twitter.com/ocJzpL6GeQ

      Which is to say, Devin Nunes is willing to share memo with anyone who wants to see it, so long as they can't check hisi work, but with none of the people who can check his work, not even from w/in his own party.

          I think it's more like - the memo is a house intelligence committee document, so only house members have access to it. Nunes is pushing for its general release, not sure what the argument really is here.

          It's classified. Usually the people who originate classified information get to see what's being released before it is.

          Assume you're talking about the fbi. They know what the original classified docs are. They've been stonewalling on all this. I wouldn't let them see it either. Next thing you know WaPo will have a breathless story trashing the memo before it's even released.

          Can we call this a Fox News memo: unchecked, unseen by Dens, and meant only to enflame the Right.

          The memo's release and Mueller's firing must be closely coordinated. Can't let the facts catch up before the deed is done.
