It wasn't enough for Donald Trump to tweet command the Department of Justice to open an inquiry into whether the FBI "implanted" someone in his campaign, now he's meeting with representatives of the Justice Department and FBI to put his thumb on the scales of justice in person.
Trump baselessly pressed the notion last week that the FBI improperly planted an “informant” in his 2016 campaign, culminating in a Sunday tweet stating: “I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!”
Rosenstein quickly preempted an escalation of Trump’s demand by asking the agency’s inspector general to “expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation.” Rosenstein personally added: "If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action."
But now Trump wants to grouse and make his demands in person—not to mention make explicit his demand for an investigation into the investigation of, well, him.
