Sara Carter continues to dish information on the memo.
My latest: This is a concerted effort to buy time for FBI and DOJ to try and delegitimize the FISA abuse memo they are terrified will be made public #ReleaseTheMemo https://t.co/ppkbuIng3d

Spoke 2 HPSCI spokesman:
"In its increasingly strange attempt to thwart publication of the memo, the Committee Minority is now complaining about minor edits to the memo, including grammatical fixes & two edits requested by the FBI & by the Minority themselves.” #releasethememo https://t.co/rbVE52bnn9— Sara A.

Per Daily Caller:
The memo will be released with some technical redactions requested by the FBI, which continues to object to the document’s release. House rules dictate that the legislature can vote to declassify material in the public interest stipulating the president must approve its release within 5 days.
After the president’s approval the memo will be transferred back to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who will then publicly release it. Trump reviewed the memo after the committee voted to declassify the memo Monday. Administration officials insisted the memo was undergoing a thorough national security review before any decision on its release.
“As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy,” the bureau said in a rare public statement Wednesday.
Well, it's officially happening. With so much hype leading up to it, it will be very interesting to see what is contained in the memo.
