White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders statement on Manafort provided to the Pool:

"This had absolutely nothing to do with the President or his victorious 2016 Presidential campaign. It is totally unrelated.”

1. Nice try, Sarah.

[Siwsan]

2. I might just take that as confirmation it has a whole lot to do with trump*.

[dalton99a]

3. His victorious AND glorious 2016 Presidential campaign

No collusion - Rigged witch hunt - No collusion

[uponit7771]

34. Sounds so Russian

[Achilleaze]

4. Wishful thinking by the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief*

and his minions.

30. Wishful Thinking On My Part Too

She hasn't reared her head in days. I was hoping she was taking a permanent vacation.

But no!!!

Right on cue, she's back to lying.

[mshasta]

5. lol

"victorious 2.0"

[kimbutgar]

6. Did you expect her to not deny this?

She is the propagandist minister of the orange maggot house.

[scheming daemons]

7. Hey Sarah, he just pleaded guilty to "Conspiracy Against the United States"

[SHRED]

8. How does she know?

[Blue_true]

39. Trump told her what to say. nt

[miyazaki]

9. Totally. Like, for sure. nt

[onecaliberal]

10. Bwahahahahaha

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Wait for it:

"Paul Manafort was a volunteer who handled a few minor tasks for the campaign for a very short time. The president didn't know him."

[Blue_true]

40. Manafort was the donut runner. nt

[Doodley]

12. So, Trump has no business Tweeting and ranting about it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Tell that to Mr. Mueller, Sarah.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. "victorious 2016 Presidential campaign"

Well... um.... if it hadn't been "victorious" then...

... he wouldn't be sitting in the WH.

[underpants]

18. She has to throw that in. They think it's clever.

WINNING!

[BumRushDaShow]

19. It's pure dictator-speak!

[Midnightwalk]

15. Confirmation then

These are not the traitors you are looking for. Your yeti mind tricks won't work on me Sarah.

Or maybe manafort is cooperating on Benghazi or something.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Yeti mind tricks?

I didn't know they could do that.

[underpants]

20. Autocorrect I'm sure

Yetis invented autocorrect, a lot of people do know that there Norm.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. Probably, but an especially amusing one.

[Midnightwalk]

26. Thanks

Just came to me.

[peekaloo]

29. I think Ms Slanders got tricked

The Yetis want to hear Thump try and pronounce "Abominable Snowman".

I got that from my amonamous source.

Welcome to DU!

[dhill926]

16. one of these days....

I expect her to burst into flames at the podium...

[NewJeffCT]

23. or be struck by lightning

or something

[FiveGoodMen]

37. Almost reason enough to watch

[Happyhippychick]

21. Excellent! So we can assume trump will sleep well tonight and be in a good mood today.

eom

24. Sky is yellow. Water is dry. Bacon tastes bad. -- Sarah Sanders. (n/t)

[Vinca]

25. Of course it doesn't, Sarah. LOL.

A side benefit to this is Don Jr. must be peeing his drawers.

[Zambero]

27. Said the serial liar

A lie becomes a debatable talking point, which becomes opinion, which gets a "compelling" argument, which gets repeated again and again, transforming the lie into "fact". Seen this too often to count.

[donkeypoofed]

28. It has nothing to do with him Sarah?! You BETTER hope so!!!!

[nini]

31. If that is true then it's got to be Pence

Not that I believe that freakshow.

[Javaman]

32. trying to pass of shit as chocolate. nt

33. Sir Isaac Newton:

"DAMN, that apple hurt! I'm sure it had NOTHING to do with gravity..............."

[dalton99a]

35. Rigged apple!

Very unfair

[MyOwnPeace]

36. SCIENCE - HA!!!!!!!

[lindysalsagal]

38. What will it take for the pool to erupt in instantaneous, convulsive laughter?

Because if that bit of drool doesn't do it, nothing will.
