Democrats must absolutely attend Thursday meeting if House Republicans are there?

They should make the request directly to Rod Rosenstein. He should hold off any discussions with the Republicans until Democrats are included. It is a matter of national security.

If only Republicans are present and leaks take place as usually happens, they can not blame Democrats!

Gamble on some dog to leak? Hail no. We go in as well. It shouldn't even be happening at all. Hopefully theres an injunction hiding in the wings from Rosenstein to stop this before it goes too far. We are a Democratic Republic...NOT a facist dictatorship. If you won't get upright about your rights, you may not deserve them chum.

But in Republican fantasyland, they'll find a way to blame Democrats for this Republican crime wave. Believe me!

I do not trust any republicrats as far as I can throw them. They are all corporatists lining their pockets from big business and most are chickenhawks as well. They never met a war they did not like.

However the media would be totally on our side if democrats are locked out of it.

National Security and Defense of the Homeland. ABSOLUTELY have to go. Absolutely. Adam Schiff especially.
Time to protect the welfare, and peace and prosperity of the American People. Pretty clear we are under attack. What more are we waiting for loyal opposition? Let me know when we're going in or over the top of the trenches. I await the whistle call. Resist.
Get fired Up! And Ready to go!! It's a great week to be outside!! Gonna be sunny through most the weekend. Good time to re-kindle the resistance. Hug and march/protest with a teacher...Memorial Day Weekend and this shit has been simmering over a year now.

We must not only Resist, we must take the offensive. It would be foolish to the nth degree to permit this information to be exposed to Devin Nunes and House Republicans and not have any Democrats present. It is a matter of national security. Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.

We cannot leave them alone to make decisions of national import to our people. We must insist that Democrats be included in any such decisions that Donald Trump and his Republican allies make.
