WH spokesperson accuses DNC of colluding with Ukraine. Not kidding.

https://www.rt.com/usa/395984-dnc-ukraine-white-house/

As Russian collusion accusations continue to surround the Trump administration, White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders says the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is actually the guilty party because it coordinated with Ukraine.

...

"Frankly, I think something that may make sense is looking at the Democrat [sic] National Committee coordinated opposition research directly with the Ukrainian embassy," she said.

Sanders clarified that her statement was "not an accusation," instead stressing that it is an "on-the-record action they took."

"So if you’re looking for an example of a campaign coordinating with a foreign country or a foreign source, look no further than the DNC who actually coordinated opposition research with the Ukrainian embassy. And no one in this room to my knowledge really had a big problem with that."

However, the Ukraine embassy in Washington DC disputed Sanders' remarks.

“Unfortunately, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders must have been misinformed about Ukraine and the DNC,” the embassy said in a statement, as quoted by the Washington Times.

“The Embassy of Ukraine in Washington did not coordinate with the DNC about opposition research. While some politicians who are not part of the Ukrainian government might have taken sides during last year’s elections in the US, the government of Ukraine did not,” it added.

EDIT: Now WT is reporting, too.

You have the facts all wrong about the Ukrainians and the Democratic (not "Democrat," please learn to speak English - you're in America now) National Committee, but you have specifically acknowledged that coordinating with a foreign country is illegal. Let's hear no more of the administration's whiny complaining about how they didn't do anything illegal.

When he came to the US to shirk his manditory military service in Germany. Seeing how Donnie T avoided military service with bogus bone spur in the piggy toes claims they could atone for this by deporting him instead.
