Sean Spicer today: "the legal piece of what happened" ???

[Tactical Peek]

I am so interested to know what legal piece he was talking about. (at the press conference today, questioned about Nunes and the White House hanky panky, and whether the President directed his team to find intel to back up his wiretapping claim)


"I DON'T -- I AM NOT AWARE AND I HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT. AGAIN, THERE ARE TWO SIDES OF THIS. ONE IS THE INFORMATION SIDE AND TWO IS THE POLICIES AND THE ACTIVITY AND LEGAL PIECE OF WHAT HAPPENED. I DON'T -- THOSE ARE BIG BUCKETS IF YOU WILL."

It would irresponsible not to speculate, so to speak.

1. Spicer is a waste of air

2. They are again trying to refocus this on the leakers - and not the crimes! When they say it's not

About Russia that could mean it's about Turkey and Flynn, or DTs people working with Breibart or Americans who were in contact w Russia. Nothing is ever what it seems with these people.
But the GOP flunkees are going all in trying to call these WH people "whistle blowers" instead of participants in a cover up.

3. It sounded like he was talking about the President and Nunes' WH sources.

About the legal piece of that, either how the President asked for intel or how they handled his request.

Adam Schiff did a good job of shredding the "whistleblower" smoke and mirrors, saying that the Intel Committee has long-standing procedures for receiving info from whistleblowers, and that these were not whistleblowers.

“This looks nothing like a whistleblower case,” Schiff said during a press conference. “And again, I think the White House needs to answer: Is this instead a case where they wished to effectively launder information through our committee to avoid the true source of the information.

4. Yeah they're trying to cover their tracks and again pretend Obama did something illegal...

Dudes gotta realize neither he or Obama controls those Intel agencies. If he did this would be squashed already, but neither could do that. They're really trying to undermine confidence in these agencies and it should bite them in the ass big time.
