What's stopping the media from just Nitpicking State of the Union instead of covering the memo?

i would have guessed it would be thursday or friday so the SOTU would have time to marinate in the minds of the american people as well as the socialist sky screaming liberals

but with the dims trying to go all out with non-stop liberal propaganda before and after the SOTU i guess this move totally pushes them right off the stage so no one bothers to listen to or even talk about their theatrics and lying drivel

I will probably just skip the SOTU and wait for the memo to get posted.

I think CNN is lying again. I couldn't find this in the news.

Trump is to extend an olive branch to dems but the memo he wants released after the SOTU not immediately after!

John McCain may be deceased by end of the day today at this rate. Maybe Hillary too but that would be getting off too easily.

This is on the front of the CNN web page:

THE MIDTERMS ARE LOOKING VERY GOOD FOR THE DEMOCRATS

No mention of memo release time.

I'm listening to CNN on the Radio right now and they're asking questions wondering if the president will release it within 5 days so clearly this talk show host hasn't gotten the word

I hope he's mentioned somewhere in the memo. And in a less than flattering light.

Article from the website:


Washington (CNN) — President Donald Trump has told aides he wants a memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance tools released as quickly as possible, two people familiar with the matter says, but has decided against doing so before the State of the Union address to avoid obscuring what the White House hopes will be a unifying message.

Some members of his inner circle also worry the memo, now sitting in a classified room in the White House, could distract the President himself from speech preparations in the hours leading up to Tuesday night's address.

Trump has made plain to chief of staff John Kelly and others within the administration that he wants the information released, and that message has been relayed to the Justice Department.

"It's more a matter of when," said the person.
"It won't be today, but it will be soon," another person said.

?Trump's aides have been successful in convincing him that releasing the memo ahead of the speech would trample on his message, the person said. Trump has told advisers he wants to rise above partisanship during his speech, the person said.

Some aides have continued arguing that even releasing it in the coming days would have a similar effect -- though Trump has largely dismissed those concerns. And the President has only five days to make the decision or the memo is automatically released.

A White House official said the President, technically, wouldn't have to do anything this week and the memo would become public. But the official said that was not a likely course of action because the President was eager to play a role in the memo's release.

Top aides have also told the President it is important the White House be seen as giving the Justice Department's concerns due weight by conducting the inter-agency national security review of the memo, along with a legal review. That review is already under way among advisers, an official said, and their findings will likely be presented to the President as early as Wednesday.

Speaking on Fox News, Sarah Sanders said Tuesday the memo would likely not be released before the speech.

"I wouldn't imagine that happens today," she said on "Fox and Friends." "We are incredibly focused on the State of the Union and the President wants to make sure that this is his moment to speak to the American people, and I think that is where his focus is going to be all day today."



It would be pretty ballsy and entertaining for it to come out tonight, but don't look for it.

Ah just googled it. Looks like it may detail some FBI wrongdoings. Carry on.
Wrongdoings? Obama used the Intelligence Agencies of this country against it own citizens in an effort to subvert the constitution and the democratic process enabled by our Founding Fathers. He went full Russian KGB in an effort to paint Trump as one who used (get this irony) "the Russians" to alter the outcome of a rightful election of the leader of the Free World by the people.

Not lifting a finger and making them sweat a little more is never a bad option either.
