get the story out
The story of what, Sean? In your own words…speak slowly.
Gaslighting. Ignore this bullshit.
The WH is deep into damage mitigation at this point.
Trump doesn’t but he does but he doesn’t but then he does… typical of the man/child.
Trump: Flynn will implicate, Hillary, Bill and Obama. Senate however will not give immunity to him because they do not want to send these traitors to jail. SAD!
Tell you what, Sean: why don’t you and the rest of the Trump buddies get together and figure out just what the story is, then you can have Mike Flynn get it out. How does that sound?
He says he wants Flynn (whose minion just got caught covering up) to testify, but actually and silently did block Yates.
Isn’t that all we need to know?
''When I heard the words criminal investigation my mindset changed considerably. There was probably not another person on the planet Earth as surprised as I was to hear that someone thought it was criminal."
— Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn (Ret.), expressing his bemusement to learn being an unregistered foreign agent and accepting honorariums from hostile foreign governments against DoD regulations might somehow be illegal.
Oops. My bad. That was Lt. Col. Oliver North.
Those patriots all look alike to me.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to salute smartly and march up the hill.
He wants him to testify because as was aptly demonstrated by allowing AG Sessions to continue as AG after it was proven he lied under oath during his confirmation hearings, 45 believes that nothing is going to happen to Flynn.
Problem with that theory is that he’s apparently oblivious to the new side-story about Flynn and Assad and the alleged discussions about kidnapping a citizen considered an enemy of the Syrian regime. THAT shit is what lit the fire under Flynn’s ass, because THAT is the shit that will lose him his pension and land him in a federal prison, if not a military one.
I have to be honest, I thought the first one to go running for an immunity deal would be Manafort. I was wrong and I’ll admit it. It’s made me rethink the house of cards though, and now I see Flynn and Carter Page as the weakest links.
It may well be that Trump/Bannon/et al., don’t think Gen. Misha knows enough to directly implicate them. Trump’s dealings with the Russian oligarchs, goes back years. Misha is a relatively new addition to the coterie. Mrs Von Holst thinks that it is the money laundering and fraud that will bring Trump down, not his political machinations.
Good lord…Don the Con tweets and the press conference comes out a few hours later to assure us that NO MATTER WHAT he ‘tweeted’ he REALLY means…oh PLEASE. Trump is unhinged. The only time we actually see him is boarding/deboarding on his way to Mar-a-Lago. We get these lame ass ‘golfing’ pix that could be from anytime in the last 10 years. Periodically, he has a ‘rally’ so he can scream at the crowds, have them salivate at the site of him and then back to the plane.
I watched most of this briefing. The twisting, turning and deflecting by Spicer is getting more extreme and absurd, if that’s possible.
I do wish just one reporter would specifically nail him on the bullshit right then and there. Instead, they let him interrupt them, criticize and even make fun of their questions. I know they have to be careful, or they will be barred, but as it is, the question and answer period is pretty much a waste of time, albeit mildly entertaining to watch Spicer squirm.
His Orangeness is bloviating with bullshit masquerading as a bluff…
It is almost sunset in the east. What new interesting things will take place in the next 25 hours, while his unpaid intern is offline?
If Flynn only needs to echo what he’s been saying all along, what’s with the belated request for immunity?
No immunity! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
This is one of the few pressers I have seen, and I was amazed that the Spice could go so long with so many deflections and lies. Actually think the reporters did a decent job trying to nail him for answers, but he just would not answer - absolving himself and the WH of anything that goes on in the WH! Some twits on the presser:

Every Sean Spicer press conference feels like a science project presentation from an unprepared 6th Grader.

I’ve avoided watching Sean Spicer briefings, but am at MSNBC watching this one. The non-stop dishonesty and irresponsibility is amazing.
