Can’t Nunes do it himself?

Because they aren't leaking like idiot democrats. Why did Dems vote for Congress not to see it? Why aren't they going to look at it for themselves?

The dems are clearly trying to cover their arse, I was just under the impression that Nunes could make it public on his own accord.

There has to be a procedural vote by the Committee.
Jim Jordan says next week is planned.

If ut was damaging to Trump the party of no morals would have already leaked it. It is Trumps ace card and he is about to hammer these trashy fricking democrats!

Trump needs to release in his SOTU message.

All in due time....

Cynically I think the GOP may be sandbagging it for now so as to not release it over the weekend, where it could get buried and they’d lose control of the narrative.
In that vein, it could be more effective to let the media spin their wheels all weekend speculating and trying to discredit something they haven’t seen. And then release it Monday or Tuesday to dominate the headlines all week.
All this supposes that the memo: a) accurately summarizes the source material and b) is actually noteworthy/indicative of wrongdoing. Given the history of “bombshells” though, that may be unlikely.
If and when it gets released, the GOP better hope Nunes and his staff accurately portrayed the circumstances/source documents. If not the left/media will explode and it will backfire

Because republican staffers wrote it and it won’t have any value if it is actually seen. As a mystery document, however, you can talk about it for days, making up whatever you want it to be.

I love this spin, you guys are amazing, should be fiction writers.

Do you realize that congressional staffers write EVERYTHING that these Congressmen and Senators put out? On both sides. In fact, lobbyists write just as much if not more. Members of Congress don’t do anything other than blow hot air.
The simple fact that a Republican members staff compiled the information doesn’t discredit anything on its own.
ETA: if the “Republican staffers” have incorrectly summarized the information, why don’t Democrats on the HIC, who also have access to the information, allow their staff to publish a clarification memo?

Because it'll blow the place up; and there's enough enmity up there now, when they can't even get money to keep the Military in top form.
It'll likely take the legs out from under Meuller, and let Trump run wild. The Dems are going to throw the kitchen sink...or at least the cabinet that held the sink. Plumbing/pipes after that.
