The Department of Justice plans to share additional information with senior members of Congress early next week about the FBI’s decision to deploy an informant to meet with members of President Donald Trump’s campaign in 2016, Politico reported early Thursday.

According to a DOJ official who spoke with Politico, the lawmakers included in the bipartisan Gang of Eight group will be have the chance to review documents that they didn’t see at the classified meeting between lawmakers and DOJ officials last month. That meeting initially only included Republican members of Congress before Democrats demanded to be included.

“The Department and FBI are prepared to brief members on certain questions specifically raised by the Speaker and other members,” the DOJ official told Politico. “The Department will also provide the documents that were available for review but not inspected by the members at the previous briefing along with some additional material.”

The meeting comes as an increasing number of Republicans break with Trump on his assessment of the use of an FBI informant to gather information about his campaign officials’ contacts with Russia.

1. I have mixed feelings on that

on the hand, it gives cheato's moles info that could mess up the Mueller investigation.

On the other hand, it could be that the more who become aware of what a catstrophuck this admin is and making of our country, the better.

Can't make up my mind on that yet, maybe the next few days will show us more about this.

2. Devin Nunes is one of the Gang of Eight...

I suspect that the DOJ believes he has already told Trump everything he was briefed about in last briefing. But, if there is more information to come...?

Will Nunes pass the "additional" info on to Trump?

Is it a possible "sting" operation to further the obstruction charges??

3. I like

question #3, and hope that is the case.

It makes me physically ill to see what is going on in DC, I can only handle small doses anymore, too many triggers for me anymore. Makes me want to become an alcoholic and I don't fare well on that stuff. It's kind of toying with the idea of opting out of life on thus planet and just tuning out hoping it will go away as long as I vote.
