Isn't it amazing how quickly sh*tlibs pivoted from "releasing the memo will destroy democracy itself" to "lol we're lolling srsly" https://t.co/QHvg84iKfM

If the memo is a nothing burger, does that mean the Democrats don’t feel the need to release their own memo? Where is their stance now on “ This memo could threaten national security and should not be released” ? Just asking for a friend.?

That reaction was so over-the-top it’s almost as if she knows there’s something damaging about the memo.
