Update 1120ET: Minutes after Pelosi’s tantrum, Bloomberg reports that The White House plans to sign off on the memo’s release today and send it back to Congress with a declaration that is has been declassified. The committee would then release the memo.
The release is likely to come Friday morning, Fox News is told.
As a reminder, the FISA memo accuses the FBI and Justice Department of misleading a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge in March as they sought to extend an eavesdropping warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, four sources familiar with it told Reuters. The memo contends that the FBI and Justice Department failed to tell the judge that some of the information used to justify the warrant included portions of a dossier of Trump-Russia contacts that was opposition research paid for by Democrats.

Republicans are reportedly planning to kick off the month of February by releasing the infamous FISA memo alleging “egregious abuses” of FISA surveillance powers by the FBI, Reuters reported citing a Trump administration official who said on Wednesday that the memo is “likely to be released on Thursday.”
The four-page memo has circulated among the House, and has been seen by the president and his chief of staff, John Kelly. Trump has until Friday to decide whether the memo should remain classified.
The news comes after the FBI yesterday issued a “rare public statement” condemning the memo as factually inaccurate, saying it had “grave concerns” about its release, which it said could be detrimental to national security.

RELEASE IT ALREADY!!!!!
Probably won’t change a lot — my Democrat friends (good, but often very misinformed, people) already have their response lined up without having any idea of what’s in the memo: “The Republicans are releasing a memo written by a Republican about alleged unproven wrongdoing by the Democrats. This would be much like the Democrats voting to release a memo written by a Democrat alleging Republicans eat puppies for breakfast, kittens for lunch and babies for dinner.”
Look for a ‘russian missile'(?!?) to hit the Whitehouse….
The longer the administration waits to release this memo the more time the dems have to pull off a few more shenanigans.
