Wisconsin Second District Representative Mark Pocan has read the #ReleaseTheMemo memo, and he has a great idea. Release it. Please.
Republicans claim that the Nunes memo will blow the lid off the Russia investigation and expose the DoJ and FBI.
As someone who has read the memo, I can assure you that it’s all smoke and no fire. We must #ReleaseTheMemo and expose the GOP’s lies.

For weeks now, Devin Nunes has been staging his followup to his first brilliant plan—the one that involved leaping from an Uber vehicle to sneak into the White House. This time, Nunes created a memo, took that memo hostage, then started screaming for its release. It’s the legislative version of pointing a gun at your own head and declaring that you have a list of demands.
For someone who keeps crying for “release,” Nunes has been very stingy about sharing that memo. He won’t show it to the FBI. He won’t show it to the DOJ. He won’t even share it with Republicans in the Senate. But as it happens, Mark Pocan has read the memo. And he has a bit more to say about it.
Rep. Nunes is the same member of Congress who was so lacking in credibility that he was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation due to his partisan meddling and overt efforts to shield President Trump from efforts to get to the bottom of the story. The memo is full of innaccuracies and assumptions that only serve to give Congressional Republicans fake political talking points, while playing into their narrative to undermine the FBI and the ongoing investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
We must release the memo and all supporting documents to have an honest conversation and correct the record, rather than defaulting to Rep. Nunes’ one-sided version of the ‘truth.’ These are serious allegations from Rep. Nunes, and the American people deserve to see how he created these ridiculous fabrications to back up a baseless storyline.
That smell is roasted Nunes. Careful, the smoke could be toxic.
On Wednesday, Senator Richard Burr, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee asked for a look at this document that Nunes and company have been touting for so long. But of course, Nunes couldn’t do that.
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr's staff has not been given access to a classified memo drafted by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, a sign of how closely House Republicans are guarding allegations of Justice Department wrongdoing over surveillance activities in the Russia investigation.
Of course Nunes couldn’t give Burr or any Republican senator the memo. It’s still being held hostage by … Devin Nunes. But don’t worry, Devin Nunes is doing all he can overcome this madman.
