Moonwalking with Einstein -
The Art and Science of Remembering Everything
quote [ The Trump administration, with the help of Republicans in Congress, have for weeks been hyping up an internal House memo as the new Pentagon Papers. That memo was finally made public on Friday ]
Representative Devin Nunes, of California, and his conservative allies had strongly implied that the memo would offer incontrovertible proof of the intelligence community’s bias against President Donald Trump in investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. In the past few days, however, Republicans have walked back that assertion, apparently after reading the memo for themselves.
On Friday, Trump declassified the memo.

You mistake me for someone that is defending trump, or the republicans, or any particular faction in this mess.
I am not apologizing or forgiving anything, I am attempting to boil down this mess and arrive at the truth. When all sides have the same weapon, and can make that weapon seem like its coming from any other party, then it can be removed from the truth equation: its data cannot be used to draw useful conclusions as its equally likely for those conclusions to be valid as it is to be invalid given the nature of the weapon.
You've coughed up two links detailing the ongoing investigation on trump and friends, what am I supposed to take from them?

You are likely a teenager with a still developing brain, so I'll forgive your bouts of irrationality, but pardon me I need clarification here.
You are asking me to defend the memo being that it does not include some, or all "classified information"? I thought the main sticking point for the FBi & DOJ was that it not include means, methods or sources, or any classified information whatsoever.
What rules are you saying I have defined that I should apply here?
