But this deputy spokesperson is saying that it came from the New York Times, BBC, Fox News...

Outright lies!

Why would this vaunted administration be acting on fake news stories?

no matter the venue. At one point I thought she was reading them from a teleprompter. She will not stop in her delivery, either, especially when someone has a follow-up question.

She is a robot.

“Look, I think he’s going off of information that he’s seen that has led him to believe that this is a very real potential,” Ms. Sanders said on ABC’s “This Week” program. “And if it is, this is the greatest overreach and the greatest abuse of power that I think we have ever seen and a huge attack on democracy itself. And the American people have a right to know if this took place."



So now, it's IF this took place. Now we switch to A VERY REAL POTENTIAL.

She basically said that sources do not matter, at the same time repeating over and over that the NYT, BBC, Fox News, etc. were sources that reported the information.

She kept couching the whole thing in an "if it's true" situation when Trump asserted it as fact. I honestly don't think she knows the importance of original sources or the difference between fact and opinion.

Obfuscating, misdirecting, refusing to answer any direct questions or address the point the interviewer is making, and twisting logic to defend Trump at all costs.

I can't stand to listen to her. Ever time she is on This Week or MSNBC I tune her out for several minutes and then inevitably think "Is she STILL on?"

I would not be surprised if Trump himself has told the networks "Sarah gets 10 minutes or else." Because she ALWAYS gets at least 10 minutes of airtime. Nobody else does. It sure isn't because she's interesting or intelligent.

And she was the best the White House could send out from their thinning bench.

I heard Trump was pissed because his people didn't defend him strongly enough on the Sunday shows, and I thought, "Cool!".

It was Levin. He was reading articles about possible Russia ties on Fox News and extrapolating that there were FISA requests AND surveillance.
