Well, with the un-hidden information, it's pretty easy to infer what the memo is likely to say.

And it's only hidden for the moment. For what I gather the committees and hearings and such that it takes to release the memo takes 19 congressional business days. Which puts the release in mid-March.

EDIT: TIL that there is such a thing as "congressional business days" that is different from regular "business days". Work harder congress.

Kim Dotcom, Hannity, others, they have teased major bombshells a bunch in the past. A big fat zero percent of them have been anything other old lady queef.

What about the time Rachel Maddow had Trump's tax return.

Bomb dropped.

IIRC that was teased in promos during the day for the primetime viewing. That's a different animal. Though that doesn't mean that's not how it would be done with somebody like Hannity, but that nigga cried wolf way too many times by now.

I was being sarcastic about the Maddow thing. If you remember, she had a big fat nothingburger to present on TV.

I'm with you on Hannity. How that guy gets fired up night after night can't be real. So you can divide everything he says by 3, and that's about all it's worth.

My inference here is that the memo is going to detail some wildly indefensible justification for the surveillance put on Trump during the campaign and during the transition. My bold prediction here is that it shows unlawful collusion between the Obama administration and the Hillary campaign.

After I posted that, it actually sunk in.

Damn, that would be really really fucking bad.

I tend to agree.

IMO any bombshell will be unexpected. Though there may also be a drip, drip, drip of related subject material leading up to that to properly massage public opinion for what's to come. But yeah, the more you hear about something like this before it happens, the less likely it is to be juicy.
