During his Monday news conference, Press Secretary Sean Spicer pushed back. Asked about his thoughts regarding whether a special prosecutor is needed, Spicer argued that appointing one would be a waste of time because there’s nothing new to investigate.

“I guess my question would be, special prosecutor for what?” Spicer said. “We have now for six months heard story after story come out about unnamed sources saying the same thing over and over again, and nothing has come of it… so at what point, you have got to ask yourself, what are you investigating?”

“I think that both the House and Senate have looked at it, you know as well as I do that the intelligence community has looked at it as well,” he continued. “The president has spoken forcefully time and time again that he has no interests in Russia, he hasn’t talked with people in Russia in years… the reporting I’m seeing in different organizations suggests that there’s nothing new that’s being reported. It’s the same stuff over and over again that we’ve heard literally for six months.”

Before Spicer’s presser was even done, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) — the ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee — refuted Spicer’s claim that “both the House and Senate have looked” into the Trump’s campaign’s possible collusion with Russian officials who were seeking to interfere in the presidential election.

During a news conference of his own, Schiff said his committee has “reached no conclusion, nor could we, in terms of issues of collusion because we haven’t called in a single witness or reviewed a single document on that issue as of yet.”

[Achilleaze]

2. stop lying to America Spice Boy

dude really needs to drop the republican "values" and start telling Americans the truth

[dem4decades]

3. He's lying to protect Americans and for their safety. At least that's the

excuse this Administration is using to destroy America as we knew it. Terrible to know that our country is filled with so many hateful individuals.

4. Sphincter seems like he is about to have a nervous breakdown at any

moment. Maybe Bannon should take him out for a few cocktails or something. The man is wound up way too tightly.

6. Bannon has several flasks hidden in his desk drawers and file cabinets. There's no need to

hit the bars. There's a reason for gin blossoms.

5. In 2 years from now

We'll read books that detail all the lies and obfuscations that the administration and Congress used to deny the American people the truth about their felonious ways.

It will be delicious in retrospect.

10. How many unhinged hearings did they have on Bengazi? There really was nothing to see there, but

they kept right on "investigating". Sooner or later the republicans are going to enrage the masses to the point that real pitchforks and torches come out. Then we will see nothing but assholes and elbows as these fucking wimps flee.
