Republicans Ban Democrats From DOJ Briefing

"Chief of Staff John Kelly has excluded Democrats from a meeting planned for Thursday to provide more information about the FBI informant that President Donald Trump claims infiltrated his 2016 campaign, according to a Tuesday Politico report.

Kelly reportedly arranged the meeting, which was an idea borne from Monday’s meeting on the same topic with Trump, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats.

Democrats are furious about the exclusion. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lashed out on Twitter after White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters that as Democrats were not requesting information about the informant, they should not expect an invite.”*

"I DON'T BLAME THEM, I WOULD OF WHINED TOO, BUT ON TWITTER. BELIEVE ME!!!"

[rickuslastname]

This entire situation is just so absurd. From bias government agencies to corruption to collusion to hookers to pornstars to russian election manipulation to north korea and the threat of nuclear inhalation.

This is gonna make one crazy ass movie.

[GeezusMcGandhi]

Looks like the Russian cover-up continues to go smoothy for the Trump team

Excluding the Democrats just automatically calls into question anything that comes out of that briefing.

[handsomehobo]

Dems got no balls man, they should have said "this agression will not stand man!"

[aaronwalton]

They don't call them "blue dog" democrats because they like war...they call them blue dogs because they always roll over and show there belly. (And also they like war)

Banning whole parties from briefing...
F-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-fascists.
Cenk! 😁🙌

Hey Cenk.. Some conspiracies turned out to be true now! That's a blanket statement.

[MusicJustin]

Strength and repetition do work. That’s why Bernie Sanders is so popular.

[tahjthomas]

The amount of frustration i have over the obvious hypocrisy in this situation is hurting my brain.

[tonydmty]

Remember, Corporate Democrats are paid to lose and whining. Third Party.

Trump should have been investigated. What get's me is this idea where Republicans presuppose his innocence and take offense that he would ever be subject of an investigation. He filled his campaign with INCREDIBLY sketchy individuals.

If I made friends with a bunch of MS 13 members and invited them all to chill at my house every few days, would I have the right to be indignant if I found out that cops were looking into me?

Cenk is one of the best commentators on the tube , with all of his hilarious impressions and quotes of the news . Humour goes a long way . Even though he is talking about disgusting people doing horrific things, he is laughing at them . It's one of those things where you don't know whether to laugh or cry . Corrupt politicians in power have a hard time with humour, because you can tell the truth , and it's even better if it is funny . Quite an administration you have there , America . Vote these ass holes out .

Doesn't the government consider Venezuela a rogue state for excluding the opposition party from the government? But when Trump does it it's not authoritarian?

[macharius]

They should have stormed into the briefing and dared Trump to arrest them or throw them out. Instead they act just as spineless as they accuse Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell of being. The Democrats need to get tough with Trump or it'll be over before the fall and there will be no elections.

[jeffsmith]

Rosenstein and Wray should refuse to conduct the briefing without the Dems present.

I've never seen a non guilty winner cry and complain so much
