They are starting to throw bodies under the bus. Manafort, who was the campaign manager and CEO for over 5 months and who coordinated the Convention for Trump, has now been reduced to having had a "minor role" according to the Spiceman; Trump said today that he barely knew the guy. The guy who ran your campaign and who you talked with multiple times daily - that's the guy you barely knew?
Spicer also says now that Flynn was just a volunteer, conveniently forgetting that not only was Flynn the campaign's senior national security adviser but he was also a highly visible campaign surrogate and had a prime speaking role at the Convention.
Both men now have documented ties to Russia, and the administration is desperately trying to distance itself from them. |
