WH Cancels Trump Media Event After Flynn Plea

[edpc]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has cancelled a scheduled opportunity for reporters to question President Donald Trump about former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s guilty plea.

The public White House schedule had said that reporters would be allowed to document part of Trump’s meeting with Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj.

During these media events, called “pool sprays,” reporters usually pepper the president with questions. Trump often answers, using opportunity to deliver his message directly to voters.

A mistake, IMO. 

From all previous looks at the conversations Flynn had, there were no legal implications.  The fact Flynn lied about it was dumb and totally on him.  Avoiding the issue has bad optics.

I don't think the White House has all the facts. The reporters are going to want detailed answers. You know, the kind they didn't want when Obama was President.

Well, a WH lawyer has already gone on record saying this is Flynn's problem and no one else's.

And the WH should leave it at that. Let the MSM screw.

Why bring Lauer into it?

   America certainly dodged a bullet, Flynn as NSA Director would have been a disaster. 
   It certainly puts to rest the "I hire only the BEST People" narrative, once and for all.
