The Clinton insiders over at the FBI who were out to get Trump from day one are panicking.
The House Intelligence Committee recently voted to release the controversial Nunes memo, which allegedly contains damning evidence on the FBI and DOJ’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s email server, and FISA abuses probably stemming from their investigation into the Trump’s non-existent Russian ties. FBI Director Christopher Wray viewed the memo on Sunday night, and was reportedly “shaken to his core” by what he read. The second in the command at the FBI, Andrew McCabe, stepped down the next day.
But what of the memo’s accuracy? Rep. Adam Schiff, the one man who apparently still thinks the “salacious and unverified” Fusion GPS dossier is credible, argues as much.
Committee Republicans JUST voted to declassify their spin "memo" and prohibit release of the Democratic response in what they claimed was “the interests of full transparency.” It was transparent alright – transparently cynical and destructive.

Those concerns were put to rest yesterday, when, according to Fox News, two senior FBI officials “could not point to any factual inaccuracies” in the memo.
Two Senior FBI officials have now reviewed the Republican staff memo, alleging abuses of government surveillance programs during the 2016 election, a source familiar with the matter tells Fox News, adding that the officials “could not point to any factual inaccuracies.”

In all liklihood, it’s just the fact that whatever is in that memo is incredibly embarrassing to Schiff’s credibility.
The memo is going to be released soon, and last minute objections are still finding their way in, including a last minute change in tune from the FBI, presumably from the anti-Trump factions within.
“With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it,” the FBI said in a statement. “As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.”

But how valid is that concern? Not very…
Literal LOL at a DOJ appendage, which is still withholding records from Congress, complaining that Congress only gave it "a limited time to review" a Congressional oversight document. https://t.co/sWEeWzfEgA

Recall that DOJ, a subordinate agency, regularly forces Congress to view DOJ records off-site, for extremely limited amounts of time, with strict rules on what elected lawmakers are allowed to view or even note. Give me a break with DOJ whining about "limited review."

If there are embarrassing glaring errors in the memo, why wouldn’t the “preexistence” favor releasing it? When Buzzfeed published Fusion’s dossier, it quickly turned into ammunition for the right, as it exposed the left’s desperation in relying on something so unreliable to attack the man.
How would the same not be the case if this memo is bogus? And are we supposed to believe that Wray somehow missed the errors?
Despite these last-minute “glaring concerns,” White House Chief of Staff John Kelly says it’s being made public regardless. “It’ll be released here pretty quick I think and the whole world can see it,” he told Fox following the FBI’s statement.
It’s looking like the FBI, DOJ, and Democrats have something to hide, and every second we inch closer to finding out what.
