Conspirator Nunes Altered Memo Before Sending To WH (UPDATED)

It appears that slimy co-conspirator Rep. Devin "Sherlock" Nunes (R-Trumpland) made significant edits to the memo that was sent to the White (Supremacist) House in order to undercut the FBI / Justice Department / Mueller investigation after his House Intelligence Committee had approved a different text. Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee and national treasure Rep. Adam Schiff caught the ratf*cker red handed:

Nunes now admits he altered the memo after his Committee had approved an earlier version:

Nunes is admitting to editing the document. Although he says edits were requested by Dems and FBI, he acknowledges changes were made after HPSCI approval and before WH review

The White (Supremacist) House is indicating that today it will release the memo that the Justice Department and FBI have called "reckless" and misleading, as part of its continuing obstruction of efforts to continue the Russiagate investigation.

UPDATE:  House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is calling for Nunes' removal (pdf) from the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee.

UPDATE II:  Karoli Kuns at Crooks & Liars has an interesting take, starting with this tweet from CBS' Major Garrett:

Administration officials tell me #GOPMemo will be sent back to House Intelligence Committee on Friday with redactions from the #WH based on internal consultations w @FBI & other agencies. WH will not "release" memo but send it back to committee for it to release on its timetable

This memo was never, ever intended for public consumption. It is and always has been a distraction, and it will not be released by the White House or the House Intelligence Committee. 

The value of "the memo" is its secrecy. As long as it's opaque, claims of "deep state interference" and horrible acts on the part of the FBI can be claimed without any substantiation. The point isn't to expose anything, it's to stoke people's deepest fears about law enforcement and the intelligence committee in order to discredit them.

Which doesn't negate the possibility that the memo will be used as an excuse to fire Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, as part and parcel of killing the Mueller investigation.
