He is not in the so-called Gang of Eight, the top four from each Party.
He is not the Chair of House Intelligence Committee.
For what reason would he be briefed?
In my opinion, Trump's plan was to fire Rosenstein on the spot and replace him with Trey Gowdy.
Is that too far-fetched?

(111,110 posts)I don't know that there is a lot of difference in a Gang of Eight or a Gang of Nine. I will be patiently waiting for the leaks from this briefing. If it is really, really serious, I think we will initially see a lot of sealed lips. They will be sworn to secrecy.

(7,434 posts)Nunes is arrested and cuffed as he entered the meeting today; or, give that that doesnt happen, both Nunes and Gowdy are formally warned that leaking to the Executive Branch (White House) is a felony, and that they are being observed.
