Surprise, SURPRISE...Trump conspired with Republicans to stage today's Gaetz / Scalise shit show.

Bloomberg later reported that Trump was aware of the stunt ahead of time.

Trump had advance knowledge and supported a protest by Republicans who told him they planned to barge into a secure hearing room on Capitol Hill where Democrats are holding impeachment testimonies, according to four people familiar with the matter.

Trump on Tuesday met with about 30 House Republicans at the White House to talk about the situation in Syria and the impeachment inquiry. During a nearly two-hour meeting, which focused mostly on the impeachment inquiry, lawmakers shared their plans to storm into the secure room, the people said. Trump supported the action, saying he wanted the transcripts released because they will exonerate him, the people said.

About two dozen GOP House members occupied the secure hearing room early Wednesday, delaying a scheduled deposition.

5. CNN also reported this just a minute ago

Report clearly stated, with text crawl that Trump knew beforehand. One GOPer quoted by CNN said he had this "penciled in" on his calendar since last week. But he "thought it was just a press conference."

Sure, Jan.

Sounds like another charge to add to the list.
