I am beginning to feel sorry for Spicey.

Feel no sympathy or remorse for those that enable this debacle, they deserve every sling & arrow sent their way.

There will be alot of jobs for new journalists

...and one for the grandmaster temporary employee, the President.

It's kinda cute that people still think that but i won't crush your dreams. I'm not a monster.

Think what, that the President is a temporary employee? Or that he will get replaced? Frankly I don't want him to get replaced until his term is up...this country cant sustain that kind of chaos at this point I don't believe...but he WILL eventually be replaced.

All of you who are absolutely sure that everything reported from a document no one sees but is simply read over the phone to the press is perfectly legit.

Two different Officials read the same quotes to the NYTs.

Sean Spicer did not dispute what was read to him by the NYTs.

No doubt you guys desperately WANT this to not be accurate...

But it is.

It's clear in this thread.

People don't even read the links. They read the headlines.

How is this fake news, considering those who are claiming such, clearly didn't read the article?

I wish someone would give Fox a "phonecall" about Seth Rich and his untimely demise. Oh wait no that would be fake and quickly dismissed because it would just be hearsay and lies. I like me some hypocrites in the evening.

Spicer response.

“By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Mr. Spicer said. “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.”

Well what's he supposed to say..."ahh gee youre right, I'm working for an idiot, nevermind" ? He doesn't have the guts.

How about you guys tell us what you wanted him to say and make it easier for the rest of us.

"You guys"?? What you guys, I'm one guy and I'm simply regurgitating the official account of what happened.....care to expound on who else you believe is here with me soothsayer?

Lol, that's what you focused on??? Anyway, what do you want him to say? What would be an acceptable response for you?

What are you talking about?? At what point did I denounce or decry his reponse?

Facts, logic and reason are all subjugated to emotional identity politics.

Reality is fake news if it shows you something you wish wasn't true.

It's clear in many threads, not solely this one. What is funny to me is how often President Trump supporters want to espouse 'triggering the triggerables', yet they flock to any negative commentary about the President like flies to s__t.

I just stopped by to see who the source of this headline was.

I was NOT disappointed.

It's all fake news at first. Then when it's comfirmed, they forget that they called it "fake news" and move on to it's a "deep state coup." At no point do Trumpkins ever hold Trump to account.

When Trump f's up, it's not Trump's fault. When Trump lies, it's not Trump who loses cedibility with them. It's the fault of the media, the leakers, the "deep state," RINOs, "the establishment," the Left, Democrats, the Clintons, #BlackLivesMatter, George Soros, etc — basically anyone BUT Trump.

Take heart, ATS is disproportionately pro-Trump and lot of the Trump supporters here aren't even American.

Did you ever watch that press conference where Baghdad Bob said the Americans were fleeing Baghdad on foot and had been defeated...and a bomb goes off and the building shakes?

I do appreciate the attempt at Jedi Propaganda though..."What reports..." "there are no reports..."

I think you got that backwards. Since when are we supposed to take phonecalls and readings of documents wthout providing said documents as face value?

Two complete strangers can tell you that I'm a shapeshifting unicorn.

If I don't dispute that, does it make it so?

You guys are hilarious.

"Fake news!"
Whoops, the White House isn't disputing, uh...
"Journalism is dead!"
Whoops, a transcript...
"Comey is a nutjob!"
Second story drops about investigation tagging senior White House official
"BUT RUSSIA WAS ALWAYS OUR FRIEND"

When this ends in the failure of Trump's presidency and removal of office, you all will still have your head stuck in the sand.
When did conspiracy theorists become statists dedicated to protecting the president no matter how wrong he happens to be?

Spoiler alert:
You can realize there are more than one conspiracies going on. But no, you all chose to pick teams. Shame on you.

I'll sit back and watch as Trump, Pence, and Ryan get the boot. Unfortunately, we'll be stuck with Hatch. I have it on good authority that he is clean as a whistle.

I couldn't copy and paste from the source you linked so I went and found Spicer's comments about it from another report. It's funny how you cut off your quote of the article just before what he replied too...Nice editing.

“By grandstanding and politicizing the investigation into Russia’s actions, James Comey created unnecessary pressure on our ability to engage and negotiate with Russia,” Spicer said in a  statement to the press. “The investigation would have always continued, and obviously, the termination of Comey would not have ended it. Once again, the real story is that our national security has been undermined by the leaking of private and highly classified conversations.”

Let's say it is true, so what? Comey is an Obama-appointment and Clinton-supporter (Comey got rich off the Clinton Foundation), Trump should have fired him Day 1. Trump tried to play nice, and it backfired on him, so he rectified the situation by firing the shill. Big deal.
