White House Offers Bogus Excuse For No Democrats Being Invited To Trump Campaign FBI Informant Meeting

Last updated on May 25th, 2018 at 05:57 am

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders came up with the most bogus excuse you’ll ever hear for no Democrats being invited to the meeting. She said that Democrats weren’t invited to attend the meeting with DOJ officials because they didn’t request the information.

Video:

After Sanders told the media that no Democrats would be invited to the meeting, only Republican Reps. Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes, reporters asked the Press Secretary why/

She answered, “I hardly call brokering a deal to help coordinate a meeting. And help congress receive information that they have requested. To my knowledge, the Democrats have not requested that information, so I would refer you back to them on why they would consider themselves randomly invited to see something they have never asked to.”

The implications of what the White House is up to was quickly pointed out by journalists on Twitter:

This was Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer’s reply to Democrats being frozen out of briefing:

Senate Republicans have been tougher on the Russia investigation, so they are also not invited

The meeting is really about warping and twisting US intelligence to give Trump assistance for his legal defense. This is not a serious FBI briefing. It is a Republican propaganda effort. It is telling that Senate Republicans who are trying to conduct an investigation into the Russia scandal were also not invited. The Thursday White House meeting was designed to give Trump a new cover story. It is only for those who are engaging in the Trump/Russia cover-up.

Anyone who is interested in the facts or what really happened is not invited.

The meeting is a sham, and leaks that come out of it will be twisted propaganda that is designed to only help Donald Trump.
