Trey Gowdy said tonight that he was told by the FBI that the reason they did not give Trump a defensive briefing, but instead turned it into a 302 information gathering event was because the POTUS included General Flynn in the meeting.
They said General Flynn was under investigation, by the FBI, at the time, therefore they could not give a Defensive briefing in his presence.
However, they could have come back and given the defensive briefing the next day, but they never tried to return.
I heard that exchange... The buses weren't running that day. 😒
