Leavitt: "I'm not going to detail conversations that took place in the situation room."

[Swede]

That's quite a statement. Once Trump is gone a lot of folks will have to lawyer up.

Q: "Why are White House officials…meeting with Rep. Boebert in an effort to try to get her to not sign this petition calling for the release of the [Epstein] files?"

1. Another reason to hold it in the situation room?

Trump's threats and promises are all classified information now.

2. +1. A very important point.

3. Just the fact that a conversation took place in the situation room doesn't make it classified.

I think the real reason they took her to the sit room was to intimidate her. That's kind of the holy-of-holies in the WH, the place where really serious shit gets done. You don't go there unless there's a big deal happening, and as soon as I heard they went to that room to hold that conversation I figured the purpose wasn't confidentiality but maximum intimidation. Maybe she saw through it, too.

6. They "cannot discuss" what goes on in the situation room.

Yes of course they took her there to brow beat her.

But they are going claiming or insinuating it is classified if you saw Levitt's comments.

9. The rubber hoses they used were 'classified'.

[Irish_Dem]

14. And all the threats and bribes are now classified. Or they will pretend they are.

4. At some point, whatever Leavitt says will be largely ignored. She is proving to

be an unreliable source.

11. Leavitt reached that point months ago.

5. Lawyer up. You MAGA goofs are going to get your turn in the barrel next. Better make a plea and cooperate.

[underpants]

7. That's pretty intense intimidation

I’ll give her this, she stuck with her pledge.

[mobeau69]

8. She surprised the hell out of me. They probably threatened her with all kinds of shit in her past. I'd assume they had

already tried bribery. Surprise, surprise, surprise!

12. They just wanted to watch Beetlejuice

[genxlib]

13. You can't dismiss the possibility that the conversation might have been classified

Considering the possibility that some of what they may be protecting ties to the Mossad and Russia.

That doesn't make it any better.

Worse in fact

15. I've always suspected Epstein's underage sex trafficking blackmail operation was a tool of Russian, Israeli and

American intelligence agencies. Ripping the lid off the whole Epstein-Trump thing could prove quite embarrassing to a lot of powerful people.

[Baitball Blogger]

16. Indeed.

What would happen to Israel’s support if Americans got the impression they had Trump over a barrel?
