1. Thank GOD!!! And I'm an atheist. nt

[pangaia]

3. Well, God works in mysterious ways, so they say.

[California_Republic]

2. Excellent!! But I forget who's on the gang of eight?

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Here

The "Gang of Eight" includes the Republican and Democratic leaders of the House and Senate as well as both parties' leaders of the House and Senate intelligence panels.

So -

House = Ryan, Pelosi, Nunes, Schiff
Senate = McConnell, Schumer, Burr, Warner

20. Top 4 leaders of each party - leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee

[BigmanPigman]

4. He won't tell which cabinet member told him this info.

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?

[OliverQ]

7. My guess is to appease him long enough to keep the investigation going.

Seems like a dangerous precedent, but not sure what else they can do.

[BigmanPigman]

11. Schill said the only thing that can be done is to

"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).

[OliverQ]

5. Schiff was told they would be. Let's see if it actually happens.

The issue though is this info will still end up going to trump. Nunes will leak it to him immediately to give him a heads up on the investigation.

[Amaryllis]

6. Good news. Let's see if it happens. And he said Trey Gowdy being there is completely inappropriate.

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. So who launched the story the Dems would meet next week at a separate meeting??

So many stories..

[meow2u3]

9. Thank God! The truth will out

despite the desperate, scorched earth tactics criminals like Trump and his accomplices in Congress are wont to use to poison the well--and the jury pool!

[manor321]

10. Amazingly contradictory

It is amazing the White House statement is in direct contradiction to this. What the heck is going to happen tomorrow?!

[spanone]

12. hope it's true.

[avebury]

13. He said the WH people will

leave the room. But, will the room be bugged by Trumps minions?

[imanamerican63]

14. But Nunes will still squeal to Trump!

[NightWatcher]

15. If this happens, who demanded and who folded?

[Ccarmona]

16. Sounds Like There's Going to Be a Showdown

Will the Dems actually get to be invited and will the IC clam up and keep the most sensitive information to themselves?

[CatWoman]

17. for what it's worth (consider the source)

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.

19. Clapper last night, Shiff tonight

TRMS is out there.

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?

[woodsprite]

21. That sounds all well and good, but they'll probably make the Dems stay out in the hallway

while the Repubs meet in private. They've pulled similar shit before.

[TimeToGo]

22. 2 meetings

There's are two different meetings, right?

[Fiendish Thingy]

23. Not according to Daily Mail story

Thurs meeting rescheduled post recess, gang of 8 will attend.

[SunSeeker]

25. Yes, they just broke news on The Last World that there will be 2 meetings tomorrow.

Apparently Nunes and Goudy will meet separately with DOJ, then DOJ will meet with the Gang of 8.
