Now, after Trump eventually comes out and denies it after bragging about it to friends and the WH not originally denying it, they both amazingly recall it was not said. When that does not work and exposes them as coordinated liars they regroup to come up with something else that might work to get them out of the (shit)hole they are digging for themselves.

As I posted before, how fucking hard would it have been to just say something like “we did not question Trump on what he meant, lots of things were discussed at the meeting, and while no one can agree on everything Trump is far superior to Obama or Hillary”? It still would have been bullshit, but politically acceptable.

Instead they chose to display loyalty to Trump, while disregarding the truth. Loyalty to Trump trumps truth, the interests of the American people, and the US Constitution.
