THE IDEAL OUTCOME:
Trump Won't Release Other Memo As Is (Karoun Demirjian, Rosalind S. Helderman and Matt Zapotosky , 2/09/18, The Washington Post)
"I'm not surprised," said Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., in a statement. "Those on the side of truth don't fear transparency."Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement: "The president's double standard when it comes to transparency is appalling. The rationale for releasing the Nunes memo, transparency, vanishes when it could show information that's harmful to him. Millions of Americans are asking one simple question: what is he hiding?" The Nunes memo refers to the GOP memo, which was produced by the staff of Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.A department spokeswoman declined to comment. Justice officials had raised national security concerns about the Republican memo before having seen it, but after Wray reviewed a copy, the FBI indicated publicly that it was concerned about the document's accuracy.
The memo can't possibly be as damaging to Donald as the Nunes one was, so getting him to hide it is even better.
