White House Denies Any Ties to United States

In a fiercely defiant statement on Tuesday, the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, denied that any member of the White House staff has ever worked "in any way, shape, or form" for the benefit of the United States.

Angrily addressing the press corps, Spicer said that any allegations that members of the Trump Administration have ever acted in concert or collusion with the United States are "unequivocally false."

"At no time during the transition or afterward did any member of the Trump team have meetings, conversations, or any other contacts that furthered the interests of the United States of America," Spicer said. "In the thousands of communications that took place, the United States never came up even once."

Drawing a stark contrast with the Administration of former President Barack Obama, Spicer said that many members of Obama’s staff were “clearly and flagrantly working for the United States government at all times.”
“President Trump has put an end to that,” he said.

In closing, Spicer said that the recent effort to pass the Republican health-care bill should silence “once and for all” those trying to link the Trump Administration to the United States government. "If you look at the interaction between the White House and congressional Republicans, there is absolutely no evidence of coördination,” he said.

This is a bad thing? Jesus, we're not going to have a government soon.

You know this is satire, right?

Congressional and Justice Department investigators are focusing on whether Trump’s campaign pointed Russian cyber operatives to certain voting jurisdictions in key states – areas where Trump’s digital team and Republican operatives were spotting unexpected weakness in voter support for Hillary Clinton, according to several people familiar with the parallel inquiries.

It started even before Trump locked up the nomination. Throughout the Republican primary elections in early 2016, Russia sent armies of bots carrying pro-Trump messages and deployed human “trolls” to comment in his favor on Internet stories and in social media, former FBI special agent Clint Watts told Congress weeks ago.

Watts, now a cybersecurity specialist with the Foreign Policy Research Institute, said the targets included former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham.

crazy stuff indeed.

Those guys are probably fuming behind closed doors. Hopefully they'll start fighting back.

aaaand here come the "witch hunt" accusations

[Biff Pocoroba]

South Carolina's Trey Gowdy gave a Fox interview and said the administration has amnesia and that the drip drip of revelations are damaging the President's credibility. That's been said for a while but it's a little more significant when a man crush of the super conservatives speaks it.

[tragabigzanda]

Great piece on Politico basically says that Trump Jr's trouble is certainly a smoking gun, but we're looking at about a year until any charges are brought (if at all).

[LoathedVermin72]

Nothing will come of this. Just like nothing has come of anything else.

It will. In due time. Its only been 6 months.

I don't believe in anything anymore, Strat. Hold me.

What were you expecting to happen? Once Mueller was appointed special counsel it was guaranteed that nothing would happen until at least his investigation concludes.

I'm not expecting anything. Democracy is a failed experiment.

[Biff Pocoroba]

I'm skeptical anything will actually happen either, at least anytime soon, but it is getting harder to believe there's nothing there behind the Liberal Left's conspiracy theories.

[BurtReynolds]

Why should anything happen? He's played the game of thrones perfectly. Bravo.

Congressman Brad Sherman officially introduces H.Res. 438 Articles of #Impeachment of Donald J. Trump for Obstruction of Justice.
