I know how this could turn out. Once the Nunes memo is public, it's guaranteed that the memo itself will face at least as much public scrutiny as those Nunes discusses in it. The media won't turn the heat on the DOJ and FBI officials Nunes accuses of abusing their power. They'll turn the heat on Nunes for daring to offer such a partisan slant on the documents he was allowed to view but not keep copies of.
The Democrats will release their own memo refuting all of Nunes's conclusions, and that will give the media license to portray the whole story as a he-said-she-said rather than as the exposure of something very wrong going on in federal law enforcement.
