Trump to receive briefing on inspector general's Clinton email report before it goes public

Source: WaPo

Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein is expected to brief President Trump on Thursday about the inspector general report on law enforcement’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email probe before it is released to the public, people familiar with the matter said.

Capitol Hill staffers were told Tuesday that scheduling and logistical conflicts would make it necessary for the Justice Department to shift its planned Thursday morning briefing to the afternoon, according to people familiar with the congressional plans. The scheduling change was apparently made to accommodate the White House, though staffers were not told the precise reason, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity to talk freely about schedules that were potentially still in flux.

The president “is really anxious to see the report,” said a person familiar with the planned Thursday briefing for Trump, which is expected to take place around the same time that lawmakers are informed of the inspector general’s findings. White House lawyer Emmet Flood is also expected to be present for the briefing, but Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, is not, the person said.

The inspector general announced last week that his office would release its report on Clinton’s use of a private email server June 14 — which is also Trump’s birthday.

It'll take them a few hours to convert the report into a coloring book.

.....................so why is Emmet Flood going to be there, to reinforce his belief that someone who thinks that the orange hair traitor is above the law........................and that a special prosecutor should be null and void................I hope that this report explodes in the traitors face............................and says that Russia did pass along information to this criminal enterprise, and that Clinton did not break the law, after all Powell did the same thing, Rice did the same thing with private servers.................and that this is a trump witch hunt report, because after all the criminal enterprise being lead by a nit wit likes to tear up white house documents which is against the law, and has to have them taped together.......................
