Spicer has opted to insult the intelligence of everyone within range of his voice by arguing that Manafort, who led the Trump campaign for several months, was barely even involved with the effort to get Trump elected. On Monday Spicer argued that Manafort “played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time” in the campaign. On Thursday Spicer described Manafort as “a gentleman who was employed by someone for five months,” likening the former campaign chief to someone “who sat next to [Trump] on the plane” or “who [Trump] grew up with in grade school.”

This is all ridiculous, especially given that Spicer is making this case in front of reporters who covered the Trump campaign and are well aware of the critical role Manafort played.

Linky


This is getting embarrassing.

Lying to cover lies never ends well. This dumpster fire is growing by the day.

Yup and you have people trying their darndest to put it out too.

Spicer is like a hockey goalie with no defense in front of him.

What gets me is that Spicer was a well respected person with a family and career. Why would he subject himself to having to cover for Trump.

I doubt he sleeps well at night knowing his children are watching him lie for someone else on a daily basis.

Shameful.

Not clicking on the link. And don't care how relative Manafort was in helping Trump win.
Conway and Brannon were better for Trump.

Just so I have this right.

You are saying that you don't care that Manafort was in the business in influencing American politics for the Russians before he became Trump's campaign manager?

Got it.

Probably about as concerned as you were about Podesta's Russian links before he became Clinton's campaign manager.

You realize that this is 100% legal, correct?

About the same as your level of concern as for Podesta's and the Clintons' prior dealings with the Russians.

Manafort was a campaign manager for Trump until he was fired and Conway took over. That is why they are trying to back away from him. There could be something criminal Manafort did that Trump did not know about.

DC office space is lined with Lobbyist tenants, the closer they are to 1600 the more slimey. Even the Blue Blood law firms are in the game.
