and here is what he had to say. did it happen? the sean spicer meeting? i had a meeting with sean spicer and brought rod wheeler along. and it was about this audio recording that of saying there is a mirror copy of the hard drive of seth rich s at the cart division at the fbi. you know he says you got his reporting wrong. you took two and two and made 45 out of it. maybe that s his math. i m not saying anything. listen to it. i m not con cluzing anything at all. when the source of the material says your conclusion about it is wrong it s not my conclusion. what is my conclusion? you saw it as something that was important enough to bring it to sean spicer.
sending a text to wheeler. he wants the article out immediately. when asked about the exchange, he says he was joking. enter sean spicer who was asked for reaction after this false story broke. i don t i m not aware of i generally i don t get updates on dnc staffers. i m not aware of that. what he didn t mention was the meeting he had about the story the month pryer. today they said we hope it brings an end to a conspiracy theory surrounding our beloved seth. and earlier my colleague chris cuomo spoke to ed butowski
