As Twitchy reported, the #ReleaseTheMemo hashtag started trending on Twitter Thursday night, with House Republicans calling for the public release of a classified report compiled by the House Intelligence Committee documenting alleged surveillance abuses during the 2016 campaign.
Despite some considering it treasonous to want to declassify the memo, Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio says the wheels are in motion.
Great news! Our efforts to #ReleaseTheMemo have been effective and the HPSIC plans to begin the process to release the FBI/FISA/Russia memo. This may take up to 19+ Congressional work days but Americans deserve to know the truth.

Update on House Intel Committee memo: Amid shutdown, intense GOP interest in memo; roughly 180 members have now read. (Number includes at least three Dems beyond Dems on Intel Committee)… 1/2

Today: Reps. Nunes, Gowdy, and Goodlatte met to discuss memo, are said to be 'charting a path forward.' What does that mean? Obvious goal is to make memo public; steps between now and then unclear; could take 2-3 weeks. 2/2

So, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence is going the transparency route, and going through the proper channels (and not leaks to the press) to boot? It’ll be interesting to watch the major players over the next 19 days or so to see who clams up and who starts tweeting.

Patience, everyone.
Memo set to be released.
19 days is a bit shitty, but the people have patience. It's been a year of bullshit, a couple of extra weeks ain't nothing.
Use the time productively. Media won't talk about it. Let's make them. #ReleaseTheMemo https://t.co/zAUx8Xw92e

This is the proper process by which to #ReleaseTheMemo.
Dems and their MSM cronies demanding that Trump declassify the memo for immediate release will moronically scream "obstruction of justice!!" once he does it.
Congress generated it, let Congress release it. https://t.co/95cKGKeGtU
