Discussion: Chris Wallace To Reince Priebus: 'You Don't Get To Tell' The Press What To Do

They’d better be able to reach Tillerson because he’s assigning most everyone at State.

Wallace did a good job at the debate he moderated. His father was the unpredictable guy when he was at CBS.

What I find most frustrating about Reince’s argument here is that I have no doubt he takes full advantage of the ability to speak with reporters “off the record” when he feels it is beneficial to him. This administration and all that came before it are fully aware that no reporter is going to burn a source by publicly stating this, which is why Reince is able to embrace the hypocrisy of decrying anonymous sources while he himself continues to be one.

I just wish one of these reporters would straight up ask him if he has ever asked a journalist to cite him as “a person close to the president” or “an administration official”. I am so curious to see if he lies or just tries to deflect. There’s no way he would tell the truth. Sad!

Maybe we can find one who loves Downton Abby the way ambassador to Austria appointee Park loves The Sound of Music and has sat through the schmaltz 75 times.

‘“I’ve always wanted to live in the Von Trapp house,” he said…
He’s heading to Vienna soon, to check out the embassy. Then, he’ll travel to Salzburg—why else?—“to see if the Von Trapp house is for rent.”’

And may I again point out McCain and Graham in the end voted for that guy after all those “I’m worried I’m worried” talks? :angry:

Journalists should start asking Priebus if they can reveal the occasions since he joined the Trump team when he was their background source.

I know you’re never supposed to burn a source. But isn’t there an exception for when your source accuses you on the record of making up things that the source told you off the record?

If the truth is on your side, you don’t deligitimize those who will report it. And let’s be real, Fox News would be VERY eager to report there is nothing to the Russia story. Based on team Trump’s actions, however, I am more confident than ever they know very damning information about them will soon be revealed.

There have been too few Rs voting against the Cabinet nominees, but we’ve had way too many defections from Ds voting for them.

Then he ought to know that the remnants of the Von Trapp family live in the United States of America.

What a fucking idiot.

Wasn’t it the press that covered candidate tRump everywhere he went giving him free airtime aiding his win?

Not sure what Tllerson is presiding over. Kushner is in charge of Mexico and Bringing peace to the Middle East, trump won’t let him have his own deputy instead pushing Bolton on him which seems odd considering he is a Pro-NATO Russia hawk as I recall, and

The John and Lindsay show are constantly trying to hedge their bets. If John, in particular, thinks this will plunk him down in history as “doing the right thing,” he’s all about it. But he’s got to be absolutely sure. What boggles my mind is … what the hell does he have to lose at this point? When those polls keep falling, you’ll see all of the other wannabees proclaiming their duty. Except McConnell of course.

Success comes your way when you spend time at Sea By The Lake regardless of foreign experience as Park has done.

But he seems to want to hit the ground running, having spoken to the Swiss and Hungarian ambassadors at the recent Red Cross Ball at Mar-a-Lago. “They want me to visit them in Washington, and the Austrian ambassador in Washington said he wants us to go for lunch,” Park said.

@theghostofeustacetilley a department that is severely weakened and cut out of key policy decisions. So Tillerson’s role is make deals on oil all around the world and little more.

And yet it was this same Chris Wallace who said it was not his job to fact-check trump going into the Presidential Debate moderated by him. Perhaps if he’d done his job then he wouldn’t have to be doing this job now.

Well I’d guess the Trapp Family Lodge isn’t quite the same thing to Park, it isn’t where Sixteen Going on Seventeen was sung in his mind. And the Trapp family have a villa in Salzburg; Himmler moved into it after they fled.

But he’s still an idiot. He’s watched The Sound of Music 75 times.

Or like the falling man saying as he passes each window, “So far, so good!”
