The only thing more outrageous than this meeting occurring at all is the fact that it’s now partisan. It is crystal clear that Chairman Nunes’ intent is to interfere with the investigation, and @SpeakerRyan is allowing it to happen.

When the President prefaces something by claiming that “a lot of people are saying,” it is his way of pushing out false information, like birtherism, wiretapping at Trump Tower, or spies in his campaign. There is no limit to his mendacity.
