House Intel Committee Votes to #ReleaseTheMemo

The House Intelligence Committee on Monday evening voted to release a classified memo circulating in Congress that purportedly reveals government surveillance abuses.

The vote was announced to reporters by California Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the committee, who called it a “very sad day, I think, in the history of this committee.” The motion passed on a party-line basis, he said.

Schiff said the GOP-majority committee also voted against releasing a counter memo written by Democrats.

“Today this committee voted to put the president’s personal interests, perhaps their own political interests, above the national interests,” the Democrat said.

President Trump now has five days to decide whether he has any objections before the memo can be publicly released.

GOWDY EXPOSES SCHIFF !!

“Adam Schiff is consistently wrong when it comes to issues of disclosure...In fact, he fought w/FUSION GPS in court to keep us frm finding out the dems paid for the dossier. So if you’re Schiff of course you don’t want this to come out!.”#ReleaseTheMemo pic.twitter.com/Sl6Zvyb8HP
