The Biggest Political Scandal Since Watergate

[LaydeeBug]

Trump compounded the difficulty by failing to prepare his blindsided staff. A panicked Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, hid among bushes in full view of reporters. “Total and complete chaos — even by our standards,” one White House staffer told a reporter.

The old Washington cliché — the cover-up is worse than the crime — presumes that the officials in question understand the severity of the crime they are covering up. This assumption apparently did not pertain, as the administration’s preposterous cover story quickly disintegrated in a hail of public statements by Trump and his own loyalists. Two days after Spicer had insisted, “It was all [Rosenstein] … No one from the White House. That was a DOJ decision,” Trump told NBC’s Lester Holt. “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.”
