https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/30/politics/rod-rosenstein-trump-nunes-memo/index.htmlWashington (CNN)The Washington Post reported Tuesday evening that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein attempted to convince the White House on Monday to block the public release of a House GOP memo of allegations about the FBI.
People briefed on the meeting said Rosenstein warned White House chief of staff John Kelly that releasing the memo could jeopardize classified information, and that FBI Director Chris Wray joined Rosenstein in the meeting, according to the Post. The reported meeting happened before the House Intelligence Committee, in a party-line vote, moved Monday evening to release the controversial four-page memo from Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes.
The House intelligence vote places the fate of the memo in President Donald Trump's hands, giving him five days from the vote to allow or oppose its release. The White House has said Trump will consult with his national security and legal teams before deciding whether to release it.

Think twice about this, Donnie, because it could come back and bite a chunk out of your big, orange ass...

(17,984 posts)4. This is what I was thinking
IF he goes ahead with the release, it means that all bets are off as to what Dems will release. Oh, I'm sure Pelosi won't stand up in in the House and tell all, but there will be leaks upon leaks. Rosenstein is warning him. His lawyers are warning him. The release would be catastrophic. And if he decides not to release it (as he should), it will make Nunes look like a fool. Either way we are guaranteed a win!
