She went on to say that any investigation of flights which trump took with Epstein were off-limits and unfair speculation prompted by his enemies in the lame-state media.

When “Fox News Sunday” host Bill Hemmer asked Conway about Trump’s retweet, the White House aide claimed Trump was just looking for looking for answers.

So Trump trusts the word of some random, unfunny comedian more than the head of his own DoJ? That actually makes some sense.

The vile president who whined “fake news! fake news!” is the worst offender in spewing fake news.

I can’t be bothered to actually watch KAC, but this seems to be a pretty lazy defense. It’s like she’s phoning it in. Where is the “we need to see those missing e-mails” to know what happened here spin??

She’s looks more and more like Beavis by the day. I’m thinking it’s time for Mike Judge to sue for copyright infringement.

Because usually she’s on the inside of the stories, so she knows how to spin it. This time, Trump’s not helpfully informing her of the whole truth, so she has to step on eggshells to avoid setting a trap around his guilt that she suspects, but doesn’t know what and to what extent he is.

So isn’t it high time for the media to then ask her and Trump about the Katie J. allegations?

An eye for an eye and all that …

Way more paper trail on that alleged rape than anything I’ve seen with regards to Bill Clinton.

So did Trump or did he not rape Katie J., knowing that she was a minor.

Simple question.

The low isn’t new, it’s the out and proud lowness that seens new. We can thank extremely wealthy privileged white men and the Republican party for that, at least in part.

That’s a good point. She very gingerly talks about “some people very high up” and people “flying around with this monster on his island”, obviously knowing Trump was one of those people. So this is a non-defense defense, leaving Trump happily oblivious, while covering herself in the process.

One Conway winds Trump up like a toy, and the other Conway does color commentary on the dancing. They both dine out on the notoriety.

Sure, Trump wants a full investigation, but only by his buddy Barr who will limit the investigation to anyone that leans to the left or supported Republicans that said bad things about Trump. It’s unlikely Conway knows the whole story, this is one that Trump won’t share and is hoping goes away though the sycophancy of his followers…and it probably will, just because they go along with everything he says no matter how vile. And, this spills into the “child sex ring run by the Clintons” nonsense that has been spread by QAnon, which makes me wonder who was really at the heart of starting this rumor in the first place.

At the least, someone should find out how Epstein was left alone, who gave that order, or who walked away from their post and why.

I await George Conway’s tweet calling out his wife for being a conspiracy theorist.

The only people off limits were the racist in chief and all connected with him, the well put together Kellyanne, forgot to add.
