Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: President Trump is expected to swiftly declassify a controversial memo on purported surveillance abuses, sources tell Fox News, even as Democrats raise objections that edits were made to the document since it was approved for release by a key committee. 
  
 Those objections fueled a new round of partisan recriminations on Thursday, with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi firing off a letter to Speaker Paul Ryan demanding the chairman of that committee, Republican Devin Nunes, be removed. 
  
 “Chairman Nunes’ deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be immediately removed from this position,” she wrote. 
  
 But the objections don’t appear to be halting the publication plans. 
  
 The release is likely to come Friday morning, Fox News is told. 
  
 Trump already had made clear he supports the release of the document, before the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee late Wednesday charged that Nunes made "material changes" to the memo. 
  
 Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., who opposes the memo’s release in any form, wrote that the committee’s minority determined the letter was not “the same document” its members have been reviewing since mid-January. Nunes' office countered that the changes were minor and blasted the complaint as a “bizarre distraction from the abuses detailed in the memo.” 
  
 Fox News is told that the version Trump plans to declassify contains “technical edits” made at the request of the FBI. 
  
 Sources said the edited version was shown to five FBI officials at the White House on Tuesday afternoon. Sources said the officials were satisfied that the edited memo addressed concerns they had about the earlier version they reviewed on Monday. 
  
 Yet, in a rare and surprising rebuke, an FBI statement was released on Wednesday asserting they had “grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.” 
  
 A source familiar with the memo said the edits included some addressing grammar and clarity, as well as an edit done at the request of the FBI and another at the request of committee Democrats. The source challenged Schiff’s claims, saying the edits were made before the memo went to the White House. 
  
 The document purportedly is critical of the FBI's use of surveillance during the 2016 presidential campaign. White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said Thursday that Trump “has read the memo.” 
  
 Next steps are not yet clear, but the president may transmit the letter back to the committee with a declaration that it has been declassified. The committee would then release the memo. 
  
 Under official rules, the committee is technically able to release such information after a five-day period unless the president objects. The committee formally started that clock with a vote this past Monday.

 The memo, which has created a political firestorm, suggests that the origins of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election were tainted by political bias. It alleges that the FBI, when obtaining a surveillance warrant, relied in some part on a dossier of allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump that was underwritten by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. 
  
 Trump has read the GOP memo, the administration officials said, and once he formally approves its release, the White House will transmit it back to the House Intelligence Committee, which has the authority to make it public. 
  
 Law enforcement and intelligence officials have expressed "grave concerns" about the memo's release, saying it contains classified information and inaccuracies. Early Thursday, a senior White House official said the administration was likely to make redactions in response to those concerns. 
  
 Hours later, however, the White House appeared to change course, saying the memo was likely to be released without redactions. 
  
 On Wednesday, the FBI issued a rare, unsigned statement citing its concerns. The bureau said Thursday its position had not changed. But officials there do not think the memo's disclosure will lead to a direct confrontation between Trump and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray, according to current and former law enforcement officials. The current and former officials noted that the bureau's statement specifically excluded the director's name as a way of signaling that he does not intend to stake his job on the issue. 
  
 Thomas O'Connor, president of the FBI Agents Association, issued a statement Thursday supporting Wray. It says the group appreciates his "standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the FBI as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats.'' 
  
 Among current and former law enforcement officials, however, there is concern about the future of Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general overseeing the Russia investigation led by Mueller. Rosenstein is named in the Republican memo, according to people familiar with it, because he approved a request early last year to reauthorize surveillance of a former Trump campaign adviser. 
  
 The president has expressed a desire to get rid of Rosenstein, which would allow him to appoint a new official to oversee Mueller, according to people familiar with the matter who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The president has also told advisers that he thinks the memo is "gaining traction" and could help him convince the public that the Mueller probe is a witch hunt, the people familiar with the matter said. 
  
 [What is the memo?] 
  
 The four-page memo was written by Republican staffers of the House Intelligence Committee, which is chaired by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). It alleges that the British former spy who wrote the dossier, which claims that Trump has ties to the Kremlin, passed bad information to the FBI and suggests that that information was used in the application to conduct surveillance on the former campaign adviser, Carter Page, according to people familiar with the document. 
  
 As lawmakers await the memo's release, congressional leaders are intensifying their partisan fight over its publication. The top two Democrats in Congress called on House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday to remove Nunes as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Nunes had turned the panel's proceedings into a "charade" and a "coverup campaign . . . to hide the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) wrote in a letter to Ryan. 
  
 Ryan defended Nunes, accusing Democrats of trying to "sidetrack us with some political game" and stressing that the memo's scrutiny of the FBI "does not implicate" Mueller or Rosenstein. 
  
 If federal agents "brought bias or cut corners or did something wrong," the public needs to know, Ryan said, citing concerns about the Justice Department's "violating American civil liberties." 
  
 "I say let all of it out, so long as we're not involving sources and methods," he added. 
  
 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), appearing with Ryan, also told reporters he thinks Nunes is "handling this just right." 
  
 But not all Republicans agree. 
  
 John Thune (S.D.), the Senate's No. 3 Republican, said Thursday that the memo should not be made public until the Senate Intelligence Committee is able to review it. 
  
 "I think they have to take into consideration what the FBI is saying," Thune said. "They need to pay careful attention to what our folks who protect us have to say about how this bears on our national security." 
  
 Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats also met with White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly this week and expressed frustration with the process undertaken by House Intelligence Committee Republicans, one U.S. official said. 
  
 Former FBI director James B. Comey, who was fired by Trump, tweeted Thursday evening about the FBI statement: "All should appreciate the FBI speaking up. I wish more of our leaders would. But take heart: American history shows that, in the long run, weasels and liars never hold the field, so long as good people stand up. Not a lot of schools or streets named for Joe McCarthy."

 Shortly before the House Intelligence Committee voted Monday night to make the memo public, Nunes rejected Democrats' pleas to have FBI and Justice Department officials brief House members about their concerns with the memo, arguing that both entities had "been under investigation by this committee for many, many months, for FISA abuse and other matters." 
  
 The comments by Nunes, according to a newly released transcript of the meeting, surprised Democrats, who accused him of coordinating the memo's release with the White House. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) governs the secret court that reviews and sanctions surveillance requests from the Justice Department.

 The ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Adam B. Schiff (Calif.), has also accused Nunes of making "material changes" to the document that Republican members voted to make public before passing it on to the White House for Trump's review. 
  
 Schiff thinks those changes are significant enough to render the process by which Trump could allow the release of the memo null and void. Nunes disagreed, and his staff described any changes as minor edits or alternations requested by the FBI and Democrats.

 The president, who has previously expressed support for publication of the memo, read the four-page document on Wednesday, the sources said. The White House is expected to inform the committee Friday that its review process is complete and that the administration has no objection to the release of the memo. 
  
 "Right now, I think it will be that we tell the Congress, probably tomorrow, that the president is okay with it," a senior White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity told reporters on Air Force One. 
  
 “I think you all know that the process is a House process, it is a congressional process. They sent over the memo. We have had over the last couple days to look at it to make sure it doesn’t give away too much in terms of classification," the official said. "I doubt there will be any redactions. Then it is in Congress’ hands after that.“ 
  
 Despite "grave concerns" expressed by the FBI, it will be up to the House Intelligence Committee to determine the exact timing of the release of the memo, administration and congressional sources said. 
  
 House rules do not clearly lay out how the memo would be made public should the president approve of its release before five days have passed, but sources familiar with the process told ABC News that they expect the memo to be released Friday after the committee receives notice from the White House. 
  
 The memo could be entered into the Congressional Record when the House is back in session on Friday afternoon at 4:30 p.m., barring any changes to the floor schedule. 
  
 Most House Republicans are in Greenbrier, W.Va., through Friday afternoon for a party retreat. 
  
 White House officials had said they were making redactions to the memo based on recommendations from the FBI, which has raised concerns about the document's accuracy and potential impact on national security. Those same sources later Thursday said the administration had determined few redactions, if any, would be needed. 
  
 Republicans “need to pay careful attention to what our folks who protect us have to say about what this,” Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., told reporters Thursday, and “how this bears on our national security." 
  
 White House Chief of Staff John Kelly met yesterday with five career FBI officials yesterday to review the memo. 
  
 The unusual public showdown between the White House and FBI over the memo has put Trump's handpicked FBI Director Christopher Wray in an uncomfortable position. 
  
 Multiple White House sources say there's no expectation that Wray will resign over publication of the memo and, they say, he has not suggested or threatened in any conversations that he would resign. 
  
 In a show of solidarity with Wray, the FBI Agents Association — representing 14,000 active and retired agents — released a statement affirming his leadership of the agency. “The FBI Agents Association appreciates FBI Director Chris Wray standing shoulder to shoulder with the men and women of the FBI as we work together to protect our country from criminal and national security threats," the statement reads. 
  
 House Speaker Paul Ryan, speaking at the GOP retreat in West Virginia, insisted the memo was “not an indictment” of U.S. institutions, the justice system or the FBI. 
  
 “If mistakes were made, it’s our job to conduct oversight over executive branch,” Ryan, R-Wis., told reporters. 
  
 Many Republicans who have reviewed the memo have enthusiastically claimed that its release will “embarrass” the FBI and unveil alleged bias and abuses they believe plague the law enforcement agency. 
  
 “If there are individuals who abuse power, it’s our job to shed light and transparency to the process,” Ryan added. 
  
 Democrats who have viewed the memo say Republicans are cherry-picking information to support their conclusions. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has viewed the underlying intelligence the memo draws from, told Politico that Republicans are “connecting dots that don’t connect.”

The saga over whether the White House will or won't release "the memo" may be over on Friday. Multiple reports—including at Fox News, ABC News, and the Washington Post—say President Trump has read the document and is set to release it. The White House, however, has agreed to make some redactions at the request of the FBI, which strongly came out against the release on Wednesday. Fox describes them as "technical edits," but it seems the gist of the memo—asserting that the FBI and Justice Department abused their authority in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation—would stay intact. The only big question, then, is when the public would be able to read the memo. ABC lays out the steps: After the White House informs the House Intelligence Committee that it doesn't object to the memo's release, the panel would then enter it into the Congressional Record. That step can only take place when the House is in session, which ABC notes would be the case at 4:30pm Friday. Failing that, the House would again be in session on Monday. One last wrinkle: GOP Sen. John Thune on Thursday told reporters that the Senate Intelligence Committee must see the memo before it's made public. "I think they have to take into consideration what the FBI is saying," Thune said of House Republicans, referring to the agency's concerns. He added that a Democratic rebuttal memo also should be released.
