Today's Spicey Show in a nutshell. [View all]

So....

Q: Why did it take 18 days to fire Michael Flynn?
A: Sally Yates came and gave us a heads-up, we didn't have information, then once we got it, the president made the right decision.

Q: She said it was more than a "heads-up," but two in-person meetings to deliver an urgent warning to take action. Why was Flynn on calls with Russia after this meeting?
A: See, the second meeting was because the first one wasn't clear. If she'd been clear in the first meeting, she wouldn't needed a second meeting. The president did make the right decision.

Q: Why did it take so long to act on what she said once it was clear?
A: There were rumors that she supported Hillary Clinton and not us. And when she refused to do what the president wanted, we were proven right. So the president did make the right decision.

Q: But he allowed Flynn access to top national security information in the meantime?
A: The president didn't want to do anything quickly because Flynn has an honorable military record and he's a good guy. But in the end, the president made the right decision to ask for his resignation.

Q: Why is the president still saying Flynn didn't do anything wrong, after seeing this information?
A: The president fired him because he lied to the vice-president. That was the reason.

Q: Why did it take that much time to determine he lied, after Sally Yates met with the White House attorney?

Repeat. Rinse. Spin.
