I didn't like it when Sean Spicer said yesterday that Mike Flynn was a campaign volunteer and that Manafort had a limited role in the campaign when he was the actual chairman.
Talk like this looks like they are distancing themselves from these two. Like they know something bad is coming. Unless he was told to say these things specifically he shouldn't have said anything at all. Why give fodder to the news outlets.
"A
very limited role, for a
very short time"
Exactly. Say nothing instead. It's so damned obvious what Spicer is doing. Calling Flynn a campaign volunteer might be even worse. Makes it sound like he was a nameless teenager handing out flyers in the parking lot. He was speaking on stage as the warm up to Trump most times.
I guess these statements could be harmless but they sounded suspicious to me.
