Yesterday a FOX News story circulated saying that Hillary Clinton had
"a mixed mind" about the firing of James Comey. It was based on
anonymous sources, of course. Hillary Clinton has issued no public
statement on the matter.
Then there is this from Hillary's close confidante, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
White House Spokeswoman Says Hillary Clinton Would Have Fired James Comey ‘Immediately’
Deputy
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on Wednesday
asserted without any corroboration that Hillary Clinton would have fired
FBI Director James Comey “immediately” had she won the election last
fall. She added, “thank God she didn’t [win].”
Huckabee
Sanders, filling in for Sean Spicer at Wednesday’s press briefing,
tried to defend President Trump’s decision to abruptly dismiss Comey
late Tuesday — a move that caught much of Washington off guard and
sparked outrage from Democrats and several key Republicans as well.
“Most
of the people that are declaring war today are the very ones that were
begging for Director Comey to be fired,” Huckabee Sanders said. “If
Hillary Clinton had won the election, which thank God she didn’t, but if
she had… she would have fired Comey immediately.”
This
same White House barred American press from the Oval Office yesterday
while letting the Russian cameras in the room believing that the photos
would not be released.
Not only were they played, they admitted they were tricked ... amazed that the Russians lied to them! Not so good at reading Russian minds, it seems.
Trump with Lester Holt today:
HOLT: Were you angry
with James Comey when he went public and said he can't support your
unsubstantiated charges of wiretapping, that your predecessor wiretapped
you?
TRUMP: I was surprised he said it but I wasn't angry.
There's a big thing going on right now which is spying and it's -- you
can call it anything you want -- the unmasking and the spying and to me
that's the big story right now. That's a very, very big story.
Hmmmmm... wonder what minute drones the Russians scattered around the West Wing.
Team
Trump is “either in bed with the Russians or too stupid to understand
the severity of this mistake,” an official fumed after Kremlin press got
exclusive Oval Office access.
Two
senior administration officials, one an Obama holdover and the other a
Trump appointee, told The Daily Beast that the resulting reliance of
U.S. media on a propaganda arm of a foreign government let Russia set
the public tone of the meeting and embarrassed the administration amid
already contentious discussions with Russian diplomats.
Both
officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to candidly express
their views. The White House did not immediately respond to a request
for comment. Read more >>>>
