Report: Trump Mulling Spicer Replacement After Press Secretary Fumbles Comey Announcement

National political reporter for axios.com, Jonathan Swan, reports that President Trump has been discussing a replacement for Sean Spicer after the White House Press Secretary appeared to have fumbled Tuesday’s announcement concerning the dismissal of FBI Director James Comey.

As Newsweek and the Washington Post report, Spicer had planned to email a statement announcing Comey’s termination Tuesday afternoon – however he was apparently having technical difficulties. Unable to send the announcement, Spicer stood in the doorway of the press office around 5:40 p.m. and ended up “shouting a statement to reporters who happened to be nearby.”

At 5:41 or so, reporters began to tweet the news – and nine minutes later at 5:50 pm EST, Spicer issued a tweet with the announcement:

Then, Spicer stepped outside

After a brief interview with Fox’s Lou Dobbs, Spicer apparently stepped over to some bushes and ordered reporters to turn their lights off – allegedly refusing to be filmed:

“Just turn the lights off. Turn the lights off,” he ordered. “We’ll take care of this. … Can you just turn that light off?”

(A correction from WaPo on Spicer’s spatial relationship to the bushes)

For about 10 minutes, Spicer answered questions surrounding Comey’s firing – repeatedly circling back to the fact that Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein had made the assessment and recommendation to fire Comey in light of how he handled the Clinton email investigation during the 2016 election.

Spicer then thanked reporters for their time and reentered the White House.

Twitter is buzzing

Now that blood is in the water, Spicer’s detractors are piling on…

Out the rest of the week

Deputy White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, filled in for Spicer today – and is expected to address journalists throughout the rest of the week in Spicer’s stead.

Is this the end of the road for Sean Spicer? Will the Spice stop flowing? Or is all of this simply WaPo and Newsweek piling on a Press Secretary caught flat footed by a President who stayed mum on Comey’s firing until the last minute in an effort flush out leakers?

The Same CIA Who Told Us Saddam Hussein Had Weapons of Mass Destruction Now Tell US Russia Hacked the Election

prop

The propaganda machine has been turned up to 11 to sully the reputation, or worse, of Donald J. Trump. Jill Stin’s asinine recounts and the threat of faithless electors are one thing. This is different. The once reputable Washington Post has decided to cash in on their journalistic street cred to peddle bullshit for the CIA – the same CIA who lied to us about WMD’s. This time, the fiction is that “anonymous sources” have claimed that the Russians provided Wikileaks with hacked emails. Furthermore, independent Presidential candidate and former CIA employee Evan McMullin from Utah has been pushing this Russia narrative HARD. To top it off, the establishment is freaking out over FAKE NEWS and RUSSIA with the fast-tracking of the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act – all based on this unfounded narrative over Russia influencing our election.

The left has been hanging their hat on FAKE NEWS the Russian hacker thing as the reason Hillary lost – when in fact if anything it was the content of the emails which blew everyone’s mind and redpilled any and all who cared to examine the evidence. Furthermore, the source of this Russian hack narrative – which has now been parroted by virtually the entire MSM, is as flimsy as a cheap plastic bag.

Per Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept:

These unnamed sources told the Post that “the CIA has concluded in a secret assessment that Russia intervened in the 2016 election to help Donald Trump win the presidency, rather than just to undermine confidence in the U.S. electoral system.” The anonymous officials also claim that “intelligence agencies have identified individuals with connections to the Russian government who provided WikiLeaks with thousands of hacked emails” from both the DNC and John Podesta’s email account. Critically, none of the actual evidence for these claims is disclosed; indeed, the CIA’s “secret assessment” itself remains concealed. (source)

Reactions around the internet have been quick to call out the CIA, WaPo, and McMullin on this bullshit. The propaganda wing of the establishment wasn’t trained to deal with crowdsourced investigative work and the light-speed flow of information (which is why they are trying to censor it). Enjoy your remaining free speech while it lasts!

Part of the BS narrative, by the way, is that the RNC was hacked – but the Russians wanted Trump to win so they only released the Hillary bombshells. Right.
