Spicer got into a heated exchange with American Urban Radio Networks correspondent April Ryan at the White House press briefing after Ryan asked how President Donald Trump's administration would "try to revamp its image" after two months in office. Ryan cited looming concerns regarding investigations into Russia's interference into the U.S. election, and whether there was any collusion between the Kremlin and Trump's campaign or transition team, as well as other controversies.
"I've said from the day that I got here that there is no connection," Spicer said of Trump and Russia, cutting off Ryan's question. "You've got Russia!"
"If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection," he added." http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politi...cid=spartandhp

He has no credibility in a regime of lies and deflection, they have expended it with a litany of easiy disproved mendacity.
The entire adminstration should be impeached.

Okay folks,
I have a question for you more sage folks than me. I started voting in 1984. I would have to say this is the most turmoiled administration I have seen. What do you folks think? I am not placing blame, just looking for some opinions.

Nixon and Bush II were pretty bad, but this is exceptional for conflicts of National interests and general corruption.

To expand his real estate developments over the years, Donald Trump, his company and partners repeatedly turned to wealthy Russians and oligarchs from former Soviet republics — several allegedly connected to organized crime, according to a USA TODAY review of court cases, government and legal documents and an interview with a former federal prosecutor.

The president and his companies have been linked to at least 10 wealthy former Soviet businessmen with alleged ties to criminal organizations or money laundering.

Presidency began with an unresolved conflict of interest which still persists.
Family members serving in the administration who are not vetted.
Collusion with Russia that may question the legitimacy of the presidential election.
Lies upon lies upon lies,
And this just within the first three months and the beginning of the new administration is simply bizarre.

Nunes tries to blame Democrats for troubled Russia probe

Quote:
“We’re beginning to figure out who’s actually serious about the investigation because it appears like the Democrats aren’t really serious about this investigation,” he said, as reported by NBC News.
Besides I read an article yesterday where it was alluded to that Nunues may not be that bright and has had run ins with Boehner when he was the speaker. If true, this is only going to get worse especially if the Senate takes over the investigations. True or not, this is a very dumb move when he is the main culprit as Trump's designated lap dog.

This is clearly a joint effort by Trump and Nunes to scuttle the investigation after last Monday's revelation from Comey that the Trump administration is under investigation for collusion.

Not nearly as not okay with it as you. I probably have more confidence in our system though.
