I figured Sarah would call off all briefings for the rest of the week while the White House brain trust figured out what the hell she was going to tell the media. She'll probably fall back on a medley of her greatest hits: I haven't talked to the President about that; The President has been very clear on that; We've already answered that; and of course, her number 1 go-to:

Now you don't have to watch.

OH!

"This is a distraction from the fact that an illegal Mexican murdered a white girl in politically important Iowa."

Almost forgot that.

"For the answer to that, you'll have to consult WH counsel."
CHECK

"I haven't discussed that particular issue with him."
CHECK

"There was no knowledge of these payments, and the president denies all allegations."
CHECK

"Look, the president has already commented on this, and I have nothing else to add."
CHECK

"We're running really tight today, so I don't have much time."

"I'm going to take one last question."

There, I just saved you 15 minutes of TV watching. You're welcome.

Each player is a journalist who travels around the board. They pick up question cards and have to guess which non-answer or lie she would give.

Russian collusion wasn't proved!

total witch hunt

We barely even knew him

He is a good guy caught up in confusing legal stuff... besides everybody cheats on their taxes

The real collusion was with Russians and the Democrats

Cohen is a bad lawyer

( and this is if she even bothers to answer any questions )
