BREAKING *** Giuliani: White House wants briefing on classified meeting over Russia probe

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/389473-giuliani-says-wh-wants-briefing-on-classified-meeting-thinks-it

<snip>


Rudy Giuliani said Friday that the White House wants to know about details shared during a classified briefing for lawmakers this week on the origin of the FBI's Russia probe, and may use the info to justify trying to shut down the special counsel investigation.

Giuliani, a member of Trump's personal legal team, told The Associated Press that the White House wants a readout of the information presented to lawmakers, particularly on the FBI's use of Stefan Halper, an informant who reportedly contacted several advisers to Trump's campaign during the 2016 election.

President Trump and his allies have made unproven claims this week that the informant was used to "spy" on his campaign for political purposes.

“If the spying was inappropriate, that means we may have an entirely illegitimate investigation,” Giuliani told the AP.

Rod Rosenstein will walk into the White House and give you an envelope. In it will either be a) the information you want or b) an indictment of someone currently in the White House. The indictment, if that is what's in the envelope, won't be active until you open it. Will you open it?
