Should Rosenstein be required to show Democrats the same information that he shows Nunes and Repubs?

I cannot believe one Party would be permitted to see information used in an investigation and the other Party would be shut out??

Have Democrats insisted on seeing the information?

This seems very inappropriate, if not illegal?

of months ago Rothstein resisted, then gave up and showed them the stuff they demanded and then they went silent.

This is round 2, or is it 3, and there will be more nothingburgers and silence.

They are all pounding the table as the indictments grow near.

Fox News needs to feed the 24 hour cycle of hate, confusion and distractions only by a constant stream of lies and deceit.
The willing political patsies Fox relies on know that.

We all know it.

then America is done, isnt it?

Someone here reported that both sides get to see. Get to see documents NOBODY should be seeing, right?

Those being investigated have never in our history, as far as we know, ever gotten the chance to see results of an investigation before they have been charged? It is an obstruction of justice on its face.

If they are shown SOME documents and Rosenstein purposefully misleads them as some people think he might be doing.

Of course you are right that no one should have to show anyone any documents at all. I just think this might be protection against firing Rosenstein and Mueller. I'm trying to be hopeful here.

concerning the campaign. It doesn't sound like he was very connected to anything. Had a couple of meetings. Big deal.
Now if he was pursuing other leads outside of his contact with the campaign I don't think they should be able to see that at all.

Devin will blab within seconds of coming out of the meeting. Off the record, of course. Then everyone will pretend that the leak could have come from anywhere and nobody will be able to say who. Maybe someone will remember that there were no Democrats at the meeting, but that's not a sure bet by any means.
