The White House Wouldn't Send a Spox Even to FoxNews to Talk about Comey

[Julian Englis]

A Republican White House refusing to send someone to appear on FoxNews to talk about Comey? Things must be really bad. The Washington Post reports that this is the case: White House officials willing to publicly defend and explain Comey’s firing are few and far between:

“Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace opened his show this week by highlighting who was not on his guest list.

As President Trump's decision to abruptly fire FBI director James B. Comey continues to dominate the news, Wallace said he wanted to feature a White House official “to explain the president's reasoning and to discuss the fallout.” Wallace said that on Saturday morning, the White House announced it would not make anyone available to discuss that topic — but did offer to book senior officials to talk about the president's upcoming foreign trip.

“When we said we were going to focus on Comey for at least the first half-hour of this program, they put those officials on other shows,” Wallace said.

He then introduced his two guests for the morning: Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), co-chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, which is investigating possible links between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russia, and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a member of the Judiciary Committee who has long been critical of Trump.

Trump and his lackeys are simply afraid to come out and explain what happened and what's going on. Which, if you're a lackey makes sense. Who wants to end up under the bus or even facing a charge of obstruction of justice?

1. Too bad Trump isnt a democrat , he would be impeached on day one.

There is no patriotism in the GOP anymore, they are loyal to hating brown and gay and female and nothing else.

Well, that and tax cuts.

2. Maybe they all went to church to pray for themselves?? I do not know if show is taped

ahead of time. Think so??

3. The last thing they want to do is stir up the Fox News nest

plus they can't get their story straight because Trump keeps changing his story.

Frankly this shows that the right is keeping its distance from him. They have a cadre of people paid to write or say complete nonsense but even they are staying away from Trump.
