Trump demands 'total transparency' on FBI 'spygate' ahead of Thursday meeting
Washington Examiner ^ | May 23, 2018

President Trump demanded "total transparency" Wednesday ahead of a meeting between top law enforcement officials and congressional Republicans demanding Russia probe documents.

"They'll all be in the room tomorrow. We'll see what happens. I want total transparency," Trump said on the South Lawn of the White House. "You have to have transparency."

On Monday, Trump tasked chief of staff John Kelly with organizing a meeting between FBI, Justice Department, and intelligence community representatives to provide congressional Republicans documents on an FBI informant linked to the Trump campaign.

Have a few orange jump suits handy so The Clap, Commie Brennan, and TV star Comey can pick what size they need.

If those orders are not followed, Trump will have no choice but to
start firing for in-subordination.

IMHO someone from the White House should be there to insure transparency. If there is any funny business they can report directly back to the President.

I want total transparency

And I want the accountability that follows (i.e.prosecutions)

I’m hoping this is all an excuse for just THAT.

There are thousands who work at the FBI. Where are the FBI whistle blowers?

I’ve always thought Trump could survive firing Rosenstein much more readily than he could survive firing Sessions. Trump appears to be making a case for gross insubordination. He will keep making demands and Rosenstein will either comply or—hopefully—the curtain will finally fall on RR’s treacherous anti-Trump show.

It is certain that Trump has already seen the documents, and received a contextual briefing.

Sessions has threatened to quit if the President fires Rosenslime.

Might be time for Rod to borrow one of those cyanide pills from Mullah Brennan.

I know. But first, I don’t believe Sessions would. Second, if he did that would be great. Grassley would find it harder to absolutely refuse to confirm a replacement if Sessions resigned (as opposed to being fired). Though I have no doubt Grassley would grumble and gripe and blame Trump and overall just act like a big spoiled child. The Permanent Political Class has gotten completely out of hand.

He doesn’t have to fire anyone they are all firing themselves. They will be in such exposed positions they won’t be able to continue.

They are standing in line waiting to be subpoena'd by congress. The Rinos in congress are not interested in hearing from them.

Hard to say. My guess is that Rosenstein as well as Wray would not show a document to Trump even if he ordered them to. They’d claim they were doing it to protect him from a potential charge of obstruction.
