DT spokesman asks why people aren't calling for Hillary to be "punished"

[pnwmom]

because of her attempts to influence the election.

And this is worse than many people here realize: DT has been pretending that the debate issue affected HIM, in HIS debates with Hillary.

In reality, it happened during the primaries, Brazile didn't share specific questions that were asked at the debate, and she wasn't even DNC chairman at the time.

Donald Trump’s press secretary claimed there should be more focus on “punishing” Hillary Clinton for her alleged manipulation of the election than on Russia’s alleged undermining of US democracy.

Sean Spicer questioned the “magnitude” of the scrutiny on Russia’s alleged cyber warfare against the Democratic National Committee in an attempt to boost his boss into the White House.

He then attempted to deflect questions on an issue which is gathering bipartisan support by focusing on Mr Trump’s former Democratic rival.

“Why aren’t we talking about Hillary Clinton getting debate questions ahead of time? That’s a pretty valid attempt to influence an election – somebody giving her debate questions and answers before an election,” he said, referring to former CNN commentator and DNC chair, Donna Brazile, allegedly handing over primary season debate questions to the Clinton team.

“I want to know, was she given the questions to my debate?” he asked at a rally in North Carolina. “But she was given the questions to a debate by Donna Brazile.”

There was no suggestion that Brazile had access to the Republican primary debates or the general election debates. But on Twitter, whenever he referred to the Brazile scandal, Trump left that murky. Brazile, he would say, leaked questions from “a debate” or “the debate.” Someone dipping in, without reading the details, would be left thinking that Brazile had rigged the Clinton-Trump debates — debates that Clinton was seen to have won.

1. Can I say it?

I knew it. Every time they need a distraction, they will attack Clinton. It keeps their supporters fired up.

4. Yep, they're pretty predictable.

5. This is why I wish Obama would pardon her

It doesn't matter if she did nothing to need one, they will make up stuff whenever they need to redirect attention.

10. A pardon would be considered PROOF that Clinton committed a crime

to the average voter. It'll be "Why did she need a pardon if she didn't do anything wrong".

11. That's what everyone said on the post I made about it

But I see it as the only way to give her peace without being used as a pawn and distraction for Trump we look to closely at him.

She can't run again so I don't think it matters what reps think. They think she is a monster that eats babies anyway

2. Look over here

OH my god we are all so tired of their childish games. Its just the start of a long 4 years.

3. four years of this asshole spicer will be four too many

6. He won't last. Looses cool too easily. Saw him on MSNBC where he just about lost it

7. Translation: Hillary dared to get more votes

than our soon to be Beloved Leader, and His Donaldness just can't stand that. Why, she blatantly went out and campaigned against him, and said mean (although true) things about him, and encouraged people to come out and vote for her. So losing the presidency because of an archaic condition in the Constitution isn't enough: she must be made a non-person. Such a nasty woman.

9. And he's pretending that her superior debate performance against HIM

was because of the Donna Brazile emails -- which took place during the primaries.

8. Sean Spicer..

The pooper scooper for the horse's ass. I suspect he will grow tired of cleaning up the mess.

12. How does he figure Hillary tried to manipulate it? By putting out negative stories on herself?

Spicer needs to face reality. His boss is a con man who has problems keeping his zipper up and his hands to himself. It's got nothing to do with Hillary.
