    Trump was not asked about it; he has bigger fish to fry than the ongoing , foamy-mouthed left Russia frenzy.

    What lie under oath? Clinton? That wasn't national security, and the current serial adulterer would fare far worse.
    And I never voted for Bill - I voted for Perot both times - a true self-made billionaire that served his country, not a coward reality show host that we have now.

    I think he appointed Sean Spicer to speak on his behalf.

    Im sure thats what they will claim. It doesnt mean it deserves any more credence than you get from an unnamed source offering unverified info from infowars, or mediamatters.

    Spicer has bigger fish to fry.
    This is just more of the same bullshit, from the same bullshit non-sources.
    It's Mueller's gig, now. Let him do it. MORE ILLEGAL LEAKS , apparently.

    The POTUS is doing the peoples' business....

    A troll could have fed them the story - does not mean they made it up. Their overall credibility is very high - except with those in an alternate universe.

    Comey claimed to have HIDDEN BEHIND THE CURTAINS to hide from the POTUS.

    He is ABSOLUTELY a "nut-job".

    Spicer is supposed to be the President's Press Secretary. That is his job. No bigger fish to fry than doing your job.

    So now we have qualifiers on what we are allowed to lie under oath about.

    His job isn't what the foamy mouthed left decides it is. He IGNORED today's Foamy-mouth Left bullshit...once again CRIMINAL LEAKS ,however, which he DID MENTION.

    Spicer is concerned with what the POTUS is doing, not the asinine left's nonstop parade of madeup, irrelevant nonsense.

    Now that Mueller is on it, expect any further attempted "gotcha!!" bullshit to be ignored.

    Well, I'd say that The New York Times has a significantly better reputation than Infowars or Mediamatters simply based off historical accuracy. At any rate, if this ever gets to the point of a criminal trial, we will for certain know then the full contents of the document and the name of the official(s) involved. And if it turns out that the New York Times and or their source was lying about something like that, they'll then be in a bit of pretty hot legal water themselves. That, along with the New York Times' track record (and the fact that the account isn't being denied) is why it seems much more likely that the story being reported is true. Obviously though, it makes sense to wait until all has been thoroughly aired out before we start locking people up. Am I right?

    You're right, his job isn't what a foamy mouthed any person from any side decides. His job is clearly defined since the role first existed in the 1880s when Grover Cleveland created it. He speaks on the President's behalf, daily, to the press. Nothing more, nothing less. And he's supposed to talk to the press. He didn't deny today's allegation. And he has the power to deny on the President's behalf.

    The White House Press Secretary is a senior White House official whose primary responsibility is to act as spokesperson for the executive branch of the United States government administration, especially with regard to the President, senior executives, and policies.

    The press secretary is responsible for collecting information about actions and events within the president's administration and issues the administration's reactions to developments around the world. The press secretary interacts with the media, and deals with the
    White House press corps on a daily basis, generally in a daily press briefing.

    The press secretary serves by the appointment of and at the pleasure of the president; the office does not require the
    advice and consent of the U.S. Senate, though because of the frequent briefings given to the media, who in turn inform the public, the position is still a very prominent non-Cabinet post.

    I agree. The source needs to be verified and vetted. I dislike Trump, but I will not allow that to cloud my objectivity. To many claims being circulated and treated as fact.

    Telling someone he fired a nutjob FBI director and it reduced pressure on him is not a crime. In addition, it is now the job of Robert Mueller.

    Trumpery seems to have an affinity for Rooskie intrigue - Manafort, Flynn, Sessions, etc., etc., etc., etc.

    Trump's sucking up to Putin during the campaign may not have seemed anything more than a naïve reality tv performer's being smitten with a ruthless autocrat, but Putin's sinister efforts to sabotage the US democratic process to place Trump in the White House is a matter of far greater import.

    Trump's giving Russian media access to his Offal Orifice whilst barring Americans appeared as another blunder predicated upon gross incompetence, but a pattern is developing that merits scrupulous investigation.

    What financial entanglements with Mother Russia might Trump's tax returns promised to the American public reveal?

    Perhaps we might entreat the Russians to intercede and obtain them for us.

    They seem to have his ear.
