Yesterday the House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence voted to release a four-page summary document alleging surveillance abuses by the Justice Department and FBI. The committee's memo has been available to all 435 House members for more than a week.
For background, Schiff has spent the last week and a half upset that the majority's memo alleging abuses was available for House review.
Today, as the committee gathered to vote on releasing their memo to the public, following its lengthy House review, Schiff asked the Intelligence Committee to release his memo.
His memo is on the same subject matter, risking the same national security threat he had wailed about for a week, with the same supposed risk to sources and methods.
Unlike what happened when Republicans on the committee asked Democrats for that vote, Republicans joined with Democrats to unanimously support his memo's release to the House - the same process used for the majority memo.
Here's his claim: "The 'release the memo crowd' apparently doesn't want to release the memo now. The most they would do is say that at some indeterminate point, a week or so from now, they would consider whether to release the minority memo."
Just this past week he pushed the false claim that Americans' desire to see the House Intel Committee's memo was in reality a Russian bot operation.
