Axelrod: Is Trump tweet attacking Schiff laying groundwork for NOT authorizing release of Dem memo?

Link to tweet

So is @POTUS laying the groundwork with this anti-@RepAdamSchiff screed for NOT authorizing the release of the Dem rebuttal to the Nunes memo? That would be an alarming new development.

The Republicans released a memo that partially relied on classified information in an indirect way. The Democrats should do the same, and they should do it on the floor of Congress so that they have congressional immunity.

They have to do it carefully so as not to harm our national security.

The former CIA director and the former Director of National Intelligence? Guys who actually know something (a whole lot) about intelligence but who have had the gall to criticize Himself? He accuses them of lying and leaking?

I just can't...

They are setting up Turd to dig himself deeper into the obstruction hole.

Dems can totally shred the Nunes memo based on its internal inconsistencies; they don't need any classified info to do that. They know that. Turd doesn't read memos; he's playing into Schiff's trap.

Another coarse response from the 'Bully in Chief". His ego working on the Reptilian level will most likely deny the release of the Democratic Memo.
