The water gets muddier and muddier...

Nothing is ever cleared up. Somebody doesn't want you to know the truth. There is no transparency left in this Administration. They are deceitful as all hell.

Every time they give a news conference or answer reporter's questions, more and more questions arise. They want you to believe the unbelievable.

Perhaps we would be better off if they stopped giving press briefings altogether? The murky picture is becoming invisible.

and lying to the base, something getting smaller every day. Eventually they'll be everybody's punch line.

As Spicer left, someone in the press corps asked "Is Kushner fake news?" Spicer offered no response as he exited the room.

Starting with the size of the crowd at inauguration, they have lied every day since.

If they don't, they're damaging their own credibility. Not that they have much of that left anyway.

There's no evidence!!
There's nothing here!!

Heard today on the radio (you know who). This appears to be their game plan across all platforms. Fox News isn't covering this hardly at all.

they keep digging their hole deeper and deeper. They are just making it that much harder for themselves and they will be in a lot more trouble than they would be if they would have shot straight from the beginning.

It's almost fun to watch how they have to spin things and watch them squirm.
