Asked about the Maria Butina indictment, Sanders deflects by attacking the media for wondering (on social media) if she was photographed in the Oval Office.

1. Poor widdle Donald snowflake

Them fake newsers are sooooooo mean.

2. Gaslighting (said this on another thread)

Gaslighting is a tactic in which a person or entity, in order to gain more power, makes a victim question their reality. It works much better than you may think. Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common technique of abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders. It is done slowly, so the victim doesn't realize how much they've been brainwashed.

The WH is escalating their efforts in this. 30% of the country is firmly in the grasp of this cult.

3. Have to confess

that I was baffled by what Sanders was asserting. She seemed to think that the entire media apparatus was squawking about some "redhead" in the White House, and I don't recall seeing or hearing or reading anything about it.

Did I miss something? Or was SHS just deflecting (again)?

6. It was a picture circulated on Twitter

of Butina with the two Russians that met Trump at the White House after Comey was fired. There is a question as to whether the picture was real or photoshopped.

7. I'm not on Twitter, so that might be why I missed it.

I really didn't see or hear any mention of it, though; SHS seemed to think it dominated the media.
That said, SHS and I are never on the same page on anything, so . . .

8. Viral Oval Office photo

Someone who resembles Butina was in Oval Office when Kislyak, et al visited Trump.

4. "he was saying no to answering questions"

How long did it take the White House brain trust to come up with that one?

5. Sarah cannot handle the heat...

Which is why she deflects as much as she can when challenged as she has been when she attacks the Press..

All she does is LIE.

9. They're trying to go after the truth, Sarah. But the Trump administration keeps getting in the way.

10. Reporters will ask Sarah why the cost of the $12 million military parade

is no big deal, but the joint military exercise w/South Korea (est. cost $14 million) was cancelled because it was a waste of tax dollars. I have a strong feeling Sarah will use is as an example of "the press going after The President".
