    All were invited to the second briefing, as well, plus Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr was also invited, along with the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, Sen. Mark Warner, and the top Democrat on the House intelligence panel, Rep. Adam Schiff.

    Rapidly changing, but 2 briefings today:

    Noon - Kelly (Why????), Rosenstein, Wray, Coats, Gowdy, Ryan, and one other guy
    2pm - Same group + adding those mentioned above - This one will be at the Capitol due to all the Senators and Congresspeople.

    Basic questions:

    - Why 2 meetings with most of the same cast 2 hours apart?? That immediately puts a further stink on the whole thing...
    - Why is Kelly involved at all? It's been reported that Kelly will just "convene" the meeting, then leave, but I'm sure any of those other people is capable of convening a meeting...
    - Will the DOJ be holding back anything relating to ongoing investigations?
    - How long before something leaks?

    Because the Dems leak everything to WaPo so one meeting was probably different than the other.

    Expect Schiff for brains to immediately leak to the press after the second meeting as he has done before. Gotta start a new dem narrative for the gullible.

    America already has a perfectly acceptable narrative... FBI following normal procedures in gathering information on possible traitors... What's yours?

    Normal to spy on the opposition party? Tell that to Nixon.

    Hmmm.. now it appears Schiff has made it into the Big Boy meeting at noon....

    This whole thing is starting to sound like a Benny Hill skit, where everybody runs around to music at double speed...

    Benny Hill? Who did I lose with that reference??

    Simply, partizan politics on the part of the GOP Trump party.

    Kelly being in the meeting(s) bothers me. There's absolutely no reason for him to be there, and seems highly inappropriate for him to be there.

    Paul Ryan not being there, because he's going to a fund raiser even though he isn't running for re-election, is interesting… and quite convenient.

    Because we all know that uncovering government abuse of power is unpatriotic. LOL

    Ryan is going to be in the Noon briefing so he can skedaddle to his fundraiser ..... in Houston??

    SNIP
    Paul Ryan, who, as House speaker, is a member of the Gang of Eight, is going to skip the Gang of Eight briefing in order to make it to a GOP fundraiser in Houston, so he’ll attend the Gowdy-Nunes briefing instead.

    Also Schiff is confirmed in the noon meeting... I think it's a BAD idea if he's the only D in the room, however, since whatever he says that contradicts the R's will not be confirmable... If we learned nothing from Sh*tholegate, it should be that....

    SNIP
    Pelosi said she was invited to attend, but deferred to Schiff.

    "They called me and said, 'since the speaker's going to that meeting. Why don't you?' And I said 'because I don't believe in that meeting,'" Pelosi said. "But to make sure we know what is being conveyed in that Republican meeting, Adam Schiff will be attending the meeting. Adam Schiff will be attending the meeting, and then he will attend the Gang of Eight meeting."

    Yap, nothing during the campaign, 2 years of spying, eavesdropping and investigating and not one indictment even remotely related to the campaign....

    Why was Trump's campaign infiltrated by spies again?

    It was not infiltrated by spies. Human Informants approached individuals within the Trump administration with known connections to Russian operatives.

    And the people who pled guilty did so because of their conduct during the campaign. All of which was related to the campaign.

    LOL, your frankly pathetic desperation is quite delightful. When you have to twist yourself into a pretzel trying to turn FBI spies into "human informants" and a perjury (questionable as it was) after the campaign about an event that happened after the campaign into a campaign related event, we both know you have absolutely nothing and your bubble has burst. :D
