White House Claims Flynns Job Was to Make Coffee When Papadopoulos Was Busy

White House Claims Flynn’s Job Was to Make Coffee When Papadopoulos Was Busy

By Andy Borowitz11:19 A.M.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—The White House called an unscheduled press briefing on Sunday to clarify Michael T. Flynn’s role in the Trump campaign, claiming that his job consisted entirely of making coffee when George Papadopoulos was busy with other matters.

“Sometimes, we would ask for coffee and George was otherwise occupied,” the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said. “At that point, Michael Flynn would step in and make that coffee.”

When asked what role Flynn’s son, Michael G. Flynn, played in the campaign, Sanders indicated that he, too, was involved in coffee-making to the exclusion of all other responsibilities.

“There were many times when the two Flynns would make coffee together,” she said. “The father would actually make the coffee, and the son would add the creamer, sweetener, and whatnot.”

Sanders said that, in the weeks to come, the White House is likely to release the names of additional campaign staffers whose roles were limited to the preparation of coffee beverages, and that such names might include Jared Kushner and Donald Trump, Jr.

“This was a campaign that drank a great deal of coffee,” she explained.

Or ....

"WHOSE Michael Flynn," or "Hillary gave uranium to the ruskies," or "The Democrat primaries are rigged, Bernie Sanders was cheated because Hillary stole it from him, and Donna Brazile said so."
