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.

That Rosenstein will not be attending the meeting is interesting.
As long as Rosenstein is allowing Mueller free rein to maximally damage Trump &co it doesn’t matter.
I agree with you on all points. A few delusional sessions supporters would like to promulgate the fiction that him leaving is total catastrophe. Personally things would improve markedly with a real AG like DeGenova in charge.
We are on the same page. If there’s any way DiGenova could be confirmed, he is far and away my first pick as a Sessions replacement.

Yes, I saw the bit about subpoenas. But I'd like to see your link indicating a line of FBI whistle blower agents waiting in line to testify against criminal deep state. Btw, sounds great and it looks like one agent has already come forward and it appears he did so without being subpoenaed.
And Rosenstink would be bluffing. That pathetic charge wouldn’t stick in public opinion and never in court.
According to DiGenova a few days ago, he said WH Chief of Staff Kelley warned both Rosenstein and Sessions their jobs are not secure. I’ve always predicted in any case Rosenstein will be gone by January of next year or sooner.
Thanks for the information. DiGenova is a Trump confidant, so the scuttle probably came straight from POTUS. Right now all I’d need to be happy on the political front would be Rosenstein’s departure. I hope we don’t have to wait until January for it.

Between looking at porn, they are sitting at their computer screens figuring out their pension benefits and timing of their retirement. After all, they are government “workers”.
If Rosenstein was fired or quit, I assume his Mueller “scope” memos would remain in effect?
Not necessarily. The new boss could interpret the scope differently, and reassign out of scope cases away from SC to USA.
This is what is known as a two-for.
“Sessions has threatened to quit if the President fires Rosenslime.”
I’m okay with that sequence of events. Besides, how would anyone know he’d quit?

Yes, I meant temporarily. And it might take longer than we think to get a replacement confirmed by RINOs and Dems. In fact, in the hearings quite a few senators would ask if the nominee would preserve the “investigation” intact.
From what I have read you are right. Rosenstein was taking no chances. He has granted Mueller near absolute power. How that gets undone at this point I couldn’t tell you.
Here’s an excerpt re how difficult it would be to rein Mueller’s hyena pack in:
Mueller team’s special status could save Virginia Manafort case
By JOSH GERSTEIN 05/21/2018 06:10 AM EDT
An obscure special status obtained by several of special counsel Robert Mueller’s attorneys could prevent a judge from ousting Mueller’s lawyers from their role in the prosecution of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort in federal court in Virginia.
Several court filings indicate that when lawyers from Mueller’s office appeared in federal court in Alexandria earlier this year, they did so not only as representatives of Mueller’s office but as special assistant United States attorneys (SAUSAs) attached to the United States attorney’s office there.
That designation gives the Mueller prosecutors a kind of dual status that could complicate any attempt by U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III to try to shift the case to federal prosecutors based in Alexandria — a possibility the judge mentioned on a couple of occasions during a contentious hearing earlier this month.
A spokesman for Mueller’s office, Peter Carr, confirmed to POLITICO that some of the attorneys on the special counsel’s team have the SAUSA status. Carr pointed to a local federal court rule that allows federal prosecutors to handle cases there when “appearing pursuant to the authority of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia.”
One lawyer who has studied the use of SAUSAs said the granting of that status to lawyers on Mueller’s team theoretically gives them the authority to pursue matters that aren’t within the special counsel’s mandate.
Diabolical.
