Wouldn't it be fun if the Democratic one was leaked "accidentally"?

Why leak it? This will only give Zombie Sessions a reason to investigate the leak. Pelosi should openly release it and then resign.
Her chance to be a martyr for her party and the country.

From conservative columnist Jennifer Rubin

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...is-telling-us/

The bottom line: Nunes has cooked up a theory so weak he had to cherry-pick from classified documents to make an allegation (that the dossier polluted the investigation) that is probably disproved by documents he won’t release. If there were ever someone entirely unfit to see classified information, it is Nunes. Ryan’s continued indulgence will, for the foreseeable future, leave the GOP open to the claim that members are reckless with national security and unfit to handle classified material.

No need to leak anything. This will be old news soon. Surpassed by the firings ahead when the memo fails to fulfill Trumps intentions.

I think it should be instructive that it hasn't been leaked yet. Seems to me that if there was exculpatory info in Schiff's memo, it would have beaten the Nunes memo into the press.

Enough already. Rubin is about as "conservative" as you are.

Finally a Republican speaks up, John McCain. Will others follow?

Sen. John McCain On Nunes Memo Release: ‘We Are Doing Putin’s Job For Him’
Quote:
“The latest attacks against the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests ― no party’s, no President’s, only Putin’s,” McCain added. “The American people deserve to know all the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the lens of politics and manufacturing political sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.
Will anyone in the GOP heed his advice or continue to be complicit in sabotaging Mueller's investigation?

Utter nonsense.

LOL! McCain had his fingers on the "Dossier", so I'd expect him to not be happy with today's events.
