@revelette1,
Quote:I wonder if Trump will allow the release of the democrat memo and if not what his excuse could possibly be?
I'm not sure. On the one hand, there will be big pressure on him (and on all Republicans in Congress) for Trump to release it because of "optics". The perception that he's involved in a cover-up will be impossible to credibly deny.
But on the other hand, what credibility do they still have? Paul Ryan has accepted the role of being Trump's bitch and he's only one of many taking the same role. Obviously they believe that they are getting enough in return (much of which is being effectively hidden beneath the noise and bluster, the lies and provocations of Trump's words.
And it is becoming increasingly obvious (to anyone with a functioning brain stem) that Trump's obsession with and efforts to end the investigation of him makes it more than compelling to presume crimes and discreditable acts he definitely does not want to see the light of day.
His decision will be based on his notions of how his personal interests are best served and which option it is deemed most likely to support his moves to end the investigation.
