It turns out that the social media campaign has been successful in convincing the most important person to convince – President Trump.
From the Washington Post:
On Wednesday, as Republicans were clamoring to make public a secret document they think will undercut the investigation into Russian meddling, President Trump made clear his desire: Release the memo.
Trump’s directive was at odds with his own Justice Department, which had warned that releasing the classified memo written by congressional Republicans would be “extraordinarily reckless” without an official review. Nevertheless, White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly relayed the president’s view to Attorney General Jeff Sessions — although the decision to release the document ultimately lies with Congress.
Kelly and Sessions spoke twice that day — in person during a small-group afternoon meeting and over the phone later that evening — and Kelly conveyed Trump’s desire, a senior administration official said.
I still don’t understand what’s holding it up. It’s four pages. As many experts have noted, Trump could declassify it at any moment, and they can black out whatever they want to protect sources and methods. The longer it takes to get out, the more it appears to be just a pantomime and a PR campaign to undermine Mueller.
Release the memo already, let us judge for ourselves.
