As we’ve suspected, there was apparently coordination between the White House and Nunes on his memo. And that’s why it probably won’t be released - people in the White House could be exposed to charges of leaking classified information.
Devin Nunes refused to tell his Democratic colleagues on House Intel whether he had coordinated with the White House on the incendiary memo, the Daily Beast is reporting https://t.co/evBXBcCtAC

Nunes first briefed Trump (at the White House) on the FISA-related intel he was presented with (by 3 White House staffers) in March 2017. https://t.co/P9gQ6QA3cT

You can bet that if any legal jeopardy would fall on Nunes alone, they’d put it out in a New York minute. Fuck him, he’s just a patsy. But White House staff? Trump’s not going to jeopardize his own minions.
(I could be wrong on all of this, because my predictions generally suck.)
