Trump has told Jeff Sessions he wants the secret ‘FISA memo’ released to the public

......According to the Washington Post, Trump last week told Attorney General Jeff Sessions, via White House chief of staff John Kelly, to release the memo, also known as the “secret FISA memo.”

The Post noted that Trump’s directive contradicts the Department of Justice’s position on the matter. The agency has said releasing the classified memo without official review would be “extraordinarily reckless.”

A “senior administration official” who spoke to the Post anonymously said Trump “is inclined to have that released just because it will shed light” on the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation.

“Apparently all the rumors are that it will shed light, it will help the investigators come to a conclusion,” the official said.........

.........According to the Post, Trump’s request was relayed to Sessions. However, the decision to release the secret memo ultimately lies with Congress, specifically the House Intelligence Committee, chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.)...........

...............Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said he was “shocked” to read the four-page memo, according to USA Today.

“I had the opportunity to go into a confidential setting to make sure that we can understand better what actually took place,” Meadows said in a speech on the House floor. “And I’m here to tell all of America…that I am shocked to read exactly what has taken place. I would think it would never happen in a country that loves freedom and democracy like this country.”

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

Would be great if the memo was inserted immediately after “and finally”...let me read this memo in the SOTU address.
