(51,590 posts)He also said Rosenstein and the DOJ need to stand up to him or else there is no longer a system of checks and balances. Why are they even meeting? Why are they giving in to the moron's ridiculous demands?

(51,590 posts)"vote the bum out". I am hoping that Rosenstein and Mueller know what they are doing and playing 3-D chess. If we put our trust in them and they blow it, we are all screwed (the US as a democracy will be history).

(79,301 posts)White House caves - will invite Democrats to top secret meeting about the use of an FBI informant during the 2016 campaign
The bipartisan 'Gang of Eight' is expected to attend the briefing
Details still be arranged, meeting may happen after the next congressional recess, which ends on June 4, instead of Thursday
Democratic leaders had blasted their party's exclusion as 'completely improper'
President Trump hyped the meeting as getting to the bottom of 'spygate'
GOP lawmakers have spent weeks pushing to unseal documents about a confidential informant who made contacts with Trump campaign officials
Democrats will be allowed inside the top secret White House meeting where law enforcement and intelligence officials plan to reveal information about the use of an FBI informant during the 2016 campaign.
The White House gave into demands from party leaders to be in the room and is expected to invite the 'Gang of 8,' a bipartisan group of House and Senate leadership to attend, ABC News reported.
The details are still being worked out and the gathering may happen after the next congressional recess, which ends on June 4, instead of Thursday.
Representatives Devin Nunes, chairman of the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee, and Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, will be briefed on Thursday as scheduled, CNN reported, while the bipartisan meeting will happen when Congress returns to Washington DC next month.

Is it possible that SHTF tomorrow.
As a side thought, do you think the Special Counsel might be a court tomorrow with charges on a few more of his cronies?
