They ignore the law and Republicans won’t stop them:
@tedbarrettcnn spots Flood entering the Senate for the Gang of Eight meeting. The WH attorney dealing with Russia probe attended both briefings today for at least part of the time, despite the WH saying this week no WH official would attend pic.twitter.com/4RUbGg7E6r

Breaking News: Reports are that Emmett Flood, Trump's atty, went to DOJ meeting with Republicans about informant. Not clear yet how much of the meeting he was allowed to participate in. Completely inappropriate for him being there even a minute.

Time to open ANOTHER Special counsel on unauthorized disclosure of classified information and Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice. Flood should have known better. ACLU should file to Disbar him. https://t.co/hVLgN8gRAz

The @WhiteHouse said this has to do with congressional requests to @TheJusticeDept. Having Emmet Flood, the lawyer for @realDonaldTrump, in the meeting is highly inappropriate. https://t.co/z3gM3eR7z6

Study the writings of L. Rod Hubbard and you will discover Trumps current playbook.
We have gone through the looking glass on all fronts as the House vividly displayed yesterday.
By a vote of 352 to 66 the House passed a $717 billion Defense Bill.
131 Democrats voted with the Republicans. Where was the so-called Democratic leadership on this bill?
When Trump took office defense spending totaled $584 billion.
The Democrats have helped Trump and the Republicans increase military spending by $133 billion over the past 18 months (23% increase).
Yesterdays bill included $65 million for the development of low-yield nuclear battlefield weapons, 16,000 additional troops, and a military parade for Trump in November.
This increase in military spending is unconscionable while we are practicing austerity against the poor.
