What's wrong with waiting for that to happen before releasing the memo?
The new director, who had no part of creating or presenting false information, if that did happen, is concerned about the release of the memo.
If abuses occurred, we should absolutely hold accountable those responsible.
Let's hold judgment until we know more.

Here's what I seem to be hearing in between the shouting back and forth between Nunes and Schiff:
The dems claim the Nunes memo is misleading because the FISA warrant was approved based on multiple sources of evidence, not just the dossier. I don't see how that would make any difference. The inclusion of the dossier, and its provenance as having been funded by the hildebeest campaign, would still taint any FISA application. If there was other compelling evidence, why did the FBI include the dossier at all? What the fuck were they thinking? I don't think the FISA judge understood where the dossier came from. Any FISA court would immediately reject an application that was even partly supported by scurrilous "opposition research" collected by smear merchants working on behalf of a domestic political campaign. No judge would knowingly walk into an obvious mine field like that.
