Did Rosenstein or anybody else at the meeting speak up and disagree with Donald Trump?
We don't know. Nobody else has said anything about it, except for Donald J Trump?
How do we know that Donald Trump is telling the truth in his tweet??
After all, his track record for telling the truth is not very good.
Just as when he goes to Singapore to meet with the Rocket Man, any plan that he might negotiate must be verified.
Let us wait and see what the other people in the meeting have to say.
That might be wise at this time?

The top Democrat in the Senate questioned the propriety of such a meeting but said that if it occurs, it must be bipartisan.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that the plan for the White House to hold the meeting "where 'highly classified and other information' will be shared with members of Congress is highly irregular and inappropriate" because, in Schumer's view, "the president and his staff should not be involved in the viewing or dissemination of sensitive investigatory information involving any open investigation, let alone one about his own activities and campaign."
Schumer insisted that if the meeting is held, "it must be bipartisan in order to serve as a check on the disturbing tendency of the president's allies to distort facts and undermine the investigation and the people conducting it."

Remember the FBI had already determined that Hillary had done nothing wrong but the Republican starting howling and flinging poo to get her interviewed. They interviewed her for that reason alone. Again a big dud for the Republicans.
