Spicer trying to cover up the NYTIMES story about Russian talks
Posted by MoroccoMole on 2/27/17 at 1:02 pm1323
quote:
White House spokesman Sean Spicer orchestrated phone calls between outside officials and reporters to try to tamp down reports that Trump campaign officials had been talking to the Russians before the election, according to a report Monday.
Spicer arranged for CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Sen. Richard Burr, chair of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee, to dispute the news report and then stayed on the line to listen in, Axios reported, citing a senior administration official.
He also gave phone numbers of reporters from the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal to Rep. Devin Nunes, chair of the House Intelligence Committee, the report said.
The effort, according to Axios, was to discredit a New York Times article from Feb. 15 that campaign operatives had been in contact with Russian intelligence officials.

And various other news outlets if you don't approve of nypost.
I don't understand why this administration thinks they can try to cover things up and people won't find out. Making an enemy of the media is not smart.

Since when is contradicting a report a "cover up"?

spicer is talking about this live if you are interested in actually learning what happened rather than post dated news.

The media has made an enemy out of non-Democrats. A huge portion of their own viewers and readers don't consider them credible anymore.
That's the root of this problem. They can't check a Trump White House without credibility.

The ship was sinking long before Trump got in office. Don't complain about the water marks you're just noticing now that he left.

But the FBI won't comment publicly. Hence Spicer connecting the media with real,(not unnamed) sources.
