Panicked White House bans cameras from press briefings for a week straight
Donald Trump, his White House, and his personal lawyer can't keep their stories straight on the Russia investigation. Rather than trying to clear things up out in the open, the White House is ducking for cover.

Despite mounting evidence of both collusion and obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation, there was no on-camera White House press briefing Monday. That makes it a week since the last briefing.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer held an off-camera press “gaggle,” but no cameras or audio were allowed. The original daily press schedule the White House provided to media listed the briefing schedule as “TBD,” but an updated schedule sent Monday morning announced Spicer would be holding a “off-Camera (not for broadcast or audio)” gaggle.

Notably, at last week’s off-camera gaggle, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn’t use a microphone and at least one reporter struggled to hear her over the air conditioning.

3. How childish can they get!

Trump, et al, doesn't realise that the press is there to serve as the eyes and ears of every American. The taxpayers have a right to know about what our government is doing in our name, and the president cannot withhold that information by engaging in these sophomoric tactics. The press must be allowed to question the leaders of our government without restriction because the citizens have the right to hear how our elected officials respond to our concerns and criticisms without a third party filter.
