Per The Chronicle:
Rep. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Tuesday that he expects to release a memo this week about surveillance and the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Schiff, D-Burbank, crafted the document as a response to one written by Intelligence Committee Chair Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, that alleged that federal agents improperly obtained a warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page as part of its Russian investigation. While President Trump ordered the release of the Nunes memo over the objections of some in law enforcement and intelligence, he blocked the release of the Schiff response because he said it contained classified material.
“We are negotiating with the FBI, and I think we are almost done,” Schiff said Tuesday night during an onstage interview by former East Bay Democratic Rep. Ellen Tauscher at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco.
Meanwhile, Trump fumes on Twitter to distract us from Mueller’s latest 2 indictments, which are arguably 2 of the most important: Ricky Pinedo and Alex Van Der Zwaan. These are signal flares that those who deliberately give aid to foreign nationals conspiring to break federal law (Pinedo), and those who attempt to obstruct justice (Zwaan) will suffer the full brunt of the FBI’s prosecutorial powers.
