conspiracy theorists. there s a lot in the lawsuit we don t know but we know sean spicer met with rod wheeler and the guy, the donor who was bankrolling this investigation. that s what sarah huckabee sanders was addressing this afternoon. spicer and sanders were saying this is no big deal but it means this conspiracy theory was right inside the west wing, that at least it was being talked about right inside the west wing. they say the president knew nothing about it and had no involvement in the story but we ll see how if this lawsuit progresses, if we learn more about what happened. you ve read through the details of the story. i ve looked at the details on this, and this is a key piece of what amounts to this russian collusion with the trump campaign. it actually goes back to the e-mails that were released on june 4 and about the donald trump jr. meeting on june 9 because if you recall, on that june 4 meeting, there was a promise of a whole bunch of russian documents that would
joe scar bro and mika brzezinski so like dana, i have to imagine that was a hard pill for sarah huckabee sanders to swallow, because what came out of her mouth today was nonsense. especially just as a woman, this wasn t sean spicer, this was a woman talking about her male boss talking about this woman on tv. chr chris, the man in the four box, i want to hear from you as well. what did you think of what she said? i mean, okay. there s a lot to be said, but let me just pick two things. attacking a woman for how she looks is not tough. throwing a punch at every person on the street does not prove that you re a good fighter. right? so, don t misappropriate those terms. tough people rarely have to go and push people down and tell them they re tough. do you know who does push people down to prove that they re tough? bullies. right?
get into more detailes on how we re going to do that later this afternoon. there have been a few questions that sean and i both said we would get back to you. sean was asked how we knew that the supreme court s ruling on the travel executive order was 9-0 when the case was when the decision was announced. in fact, the decision which staid the lower court s injunction on the president s executive order for all affected individuals without a bona fide connection to a person or entity in the united states was unanimous on the point that the stay should grant it at least to that extent. three justices would have gone further and staid the injunctions in full. no justice dissented on the point that the stay should be granted in part and no justice indicated that he or she did not participate in the decision. jennifer jacobs from bloomberg also asked about the imf s projection about u.s. growth. this morning, the commerce department revised first quarter
if the questions are about x, say y. and then just continue to defend it. gloria s 100% right. when you call the mayor of london pathetic, and the mayor of london takes that as an insult, it s kind of hard for the white house press secretary to say that s not an insult. this is the impossibility of trying to manage a message with donald trump. remember that james comey was fired because of that memo that was written. or donald trump tells nbc he fired him because of the russia stuff. over and over and over again, donald trump outruns attempts to manage him message wise. it makes this job sean spicer, any other person you could possibly think of it, it makes it impossible. you are trying to do something that cannot be done. you are trying to pretend there s a a consistency of message here that any reasoning
alarmed period. and she stood there in a way that was astonishing to me trying to explain that the president didn t insult the mayor and then she went on to say that there is reason to be alarmed. and i just you could see from the reporters faces in there it was astonishing. again, i want to ask you this. when you heard that response to why is the mayor picking a fight or why is the president pick. ing a fight with the mayor of london. she said he s not picking a fight. what s your reaction? in a way, this wasn t sean spicer, but it was sort of the tactics that he s put in place over the last couple weeks certainly and certainly over the last week, which is just create an alternate reality.
