"This is an investigation centering squarely around the president and his cohorts," said this person, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. "And we've got the president's chief of staff attending a classified briefing — and getting sensitive intelligence — about said investigation. It's a f---ing circus."
When it emerged later that Emmet Flood, the new White House counsel, also attended the briefing, the person added: "This is truly mind-boggling."
Renato Mariotti, a longtime former federal prosecutor in Chicago, expressed a similar view.
"It is completely inappropriate for a lawyer representing a subject of the investigation to attend the congressional oversight meeting in which nonpublic information about the investigation was revealed," he tweeted following the first briefing. "What possible legitimate purpose could his attendance have served?"
