In another change to the DOJ briefings about the FBI informant President Donald Trump claims infiltrated his campaign, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly will now be in attendance ensuring that Trump has a representative in on the proceedings, according to a Wednesday Politico report.
Per Politico, the White House previously asserted specifically that no members of Trump’s staff would be invited to the briefings.
Kelly brokered one briefing originally, though backlash from excluded Democrats prompted the creation of a second.
For the first briefing, Kelly, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats will brief Reps. Devin Nunes (R-CA), and Trey Gowdy (R-SC).
The same group will then brief the Gang of Eight—congressional leaders from both parties in addition to top members of House and Senate Intelligence committees—and Nunes and Gowdy again.
Both meetings are scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
Well that’s reassuring …
Wonder if the NK letter was met to distract from this meeting
How soon after the meeting should we expect dotard’s tweet-raging?
HIGH PAID SPIES!
WITCH HUNT!
TRAITOROUS DEEP STATE TRAITORS!
CREAMY NOUGGAT!
Pfft. If Devin’s there everything goes straight to the WH anyway.
There could be three documents: A state dinner menu from 1983, a user agreement for Creative Suite 2 from 2005, and a cereal box, and Trump would still rage that it proves it’s the greatest political scandal in history. Storm’s a-comin’ and he’s gotta nail that plywood to the windows.
I’m not 100% sure what John Kelly’s legacy was when he retired as a Marine General- but I am 100% sure what it is now.
Trump hates cereal boxes. He can’t complete the games and riddles on the back.
