asserting that the report did not implicate Trump and citing Hillary Clintonâs dealings with Russia.
Meh⌠Spicey Sean would have done better to reference Sewardâs Folly.
On March 30, 1867, the United States reached an agreement to purchase Alaska from Russia for a price of $7.2 million. The Treaty with Russia was negotiated and signed by Secretary of State William Seward and Russian Minister to the United States Edouard de Stoeckl. Critics of the deal to purchase Alaska called it âSewardâs Follyâ or âSewardâs Icebox.â Opposition to the purchase of Alaska subsided with the Klondike Gold Strike in 1896.
History is so damn hard 
Itâs not about Hillary, ya fucking, misinformative bludger
Of all the attempts to deflect and obfuscate this has to be the lamest yet.
âTo suggest that the President knew who his clients were from a decade ago is a bit insane,â
Not âa stretch.â Not âunrealistic.â âInsane.â Why, because candidate Trump, like President Trump. is lazy and does not give a damn? It took journalists about five minutes to uncover this thing that itâs âa bit insaneâ to expect Trump to know.
Hillary isnât the one being investigated for being in bed with the Russians
Hillary!? Oh, you mean the former Secretary of State that was mean to that nice Mr. Putin? Son, I think you and your boss have reached the end of your rope.
âI think nothing in this morningâs report references any actions by the President, the White House or any Trump administration official,â he said.
Given that it happened when Obama was in the White House of course it doesnât reference actions by âthe Presidentâ or the âTrump administrationâ. It references actions by âthe candidateâ Trump and the âTrump campaignâ.
Funny. I didnât know that Clinton was President. Why else would we care about her âRussia dealingsâ?
And he was down in the 20s in women.
So âNannyâ getting hired was just for show.
Okiedokie
MANFORT was with the TRUMPf campaign to get ;the jobâ doneâŚand every thing set up to put in place the ârightâ people.,âŚwell done , my boy! oh, by the wayâŚHILLARY is not the POTUSâŚYOU dumbassâŚshe is a private citizen.
5 months managing a presidential campaign is a âlimitedâ role?
Theyâre desperate and running scared now.
And as Comey hinted at, Putin hates Hillary. He went more than the extra mile to ensure her loss in the election. Meanwhile, Manafort, Trumpâs campaign manager for peteâs sake, has basically been Putinâs boy for over a decade.
Only on planet Trump is that somehow equivalent.
GOP = Gang of Putin
R = Russofascist Party
This is whatâs going to do him in: his absolutely inability to criticize anyoneâs dealings with Russia, while demonizing Arnoldâs ratings on Apprentice, will (they havenât already) reach the point of confidence that there can be no other reason for this deference other than something he doesnât want us to see.
When it turns out Trumpâs whole world for the last 10 years or so was nothing but a giant machine to launder Russian mob money that eventually spun off a side business of subverting the worldâs most important democracy, this âwhataboutâ stuff is going to sound pretty inadequate as a defense.
Resisting the urge to make a comment on statement that uses âbedâ and âRussiansâ, regarding trumpâŚthough it does seem a golden opportunityâŚ
This approach no doubt came directly from Trump, and Spicer is so under his thumb now after the Melissa McCarthy bits that he has to do everything Trump says. This is Trump once again trying to relive the campaign daysâŚwhere he was running against Hillary and get away with it.
Now, he IS President, and running against nobody. So it carries nothing and comes across as just weak deflection. From a PR so seriously compromised that even CNN ran a report about how he has zero credibility now on anything.

That not the tie you feeling (tRump/Spicer) its a noose. Please proceedâŚ
Sphincter Spice lost his credibility by being bornâor hatched, or whatever.
