Maybe we'll get to see whats in the memo sooner than later.
Would love to see some of these treasonous losers hang.

Too many people already know about it. Its release can no longer be undone. But they are trying really hard. They tried to get Facebook and Twitter to shutdown the #releasethememo hashtag. They tried to tell people its release endangers national security. They demoted journalists talking about it. But it will be released because Trump wants it released.

I don't trust those news sources for a second, but if true I would have to believe he has already seen it himself and knows the implications. If he really did call for release then I would also imagine it has some serious consequences.

I edited my post since I cant prove it with certainty, even though some journalists reporting it have gone silent recently.

Without releasing the source material (which gives context) the memo is simply a cherry-picked false narrative with a specific agenda (by increasingly desperate people), similar to a college student picking passages to argue an obscure point in a paper.
Without seeing context, that's all it is.

They tried to tell people its release endangers national security. Journalists have only been permitted to talk about it in "Opinion" pieces (WSJ, NYPost). But it will be released because Trump wants it released.

Well, according to yourself, we can't know if what you just wrote is true. You haven't seen it or the source material, so how can you say it's a cherry-picked false narrative? You can't.
Release the source material not just the secret memo no one can see, otherwise it's a cherry-picked false narrative.

Yep you are right the DOJ doesn't want it released because it might contain classified material.
So apparently misconduct by the FBI and DOJ is classified.
It is much like letting a murderer be the judge at his own trail.
