The WH staffers tried to get a photo op and it failed

JC on a Trailer Hitch!! Those people see everything as a TV reality show. This story does not say, but I hope someone from the British Embassy was there for the family after this great insult

The family of Harry Dunn met President Donald Trump at the White House, but refused to come face to face with the woman who is suspected of being involved in the road crash that killed the British teenager https://t.co/udS625CuL0

Snip--Speaking to British TV station Sky News, Harry Dunn's mother Charlotte Charles said Trump told the family during their White House visit that Sacoolas was waiting in another room and was willing to meet them.

Charles said "the bombshell was dropped" shortly after the meeting began. "Anne Sacoolas was in the building and was willing to meet with us," she told Sky News.

Snip--Seiger told the BBC that the meeting felt a bit like "an ambush."

"I thought we were coming down to have a debate on the diplomatic immunity law and it soon became clear to us that the real reason for inviting us down was to try and get Charlotte and Mrs Sacoolas in a room together and then I looked to my side and I saw at least three photographers ready to almost almost ... do a press call," he said.

for a photo op that would be continuously lied about to discredit them. They were right to turn down the offer to meet with her. Another attempt at creating another squirrel distraction.

Snip--"Mark Stephens, a lawyer who has been advising the family, said that the decision to blindside Harry's parents at the White House had been a "gargantuan miscalculation".{no shit}

Snip--The idea the head of US spying had would be that he would curate a meeting between Mrs Sacoolas and the Dunn family and then bring in the press corps to show it was all happy families.

"Unfortunately it was a gargantuan miscalculation and it's just one of a series of gargantuan miscalculations, spiriting here away from the UK, making her a fugitive from justice and bringing her in that way was just so wrong.

"We had always said this was a meeting that needed to take place in private, not curated by spies, politicians or indeed lawyers."
