LIVE:Sarah Sanders White House Press Briefing 8/22/18 Michael Cohen & Paul Manafort

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders will hold a briefing today to discuss President Donald Trump’s latest plans and administrative agenda. The briefing is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET.

It’s an absolute certainty that Sanders will face questions about Paul Manafort‘s guilty verdict and Michael Cohen‘s plea agreement with Federal prosecutors. The latter development has been especially newsworthy for the last 24 hours because Cohen implicated the president by saying he was directly involved in his campaign finance law-violating hush money schemes.

Legal experts are sorting through the plea agreement as the debate rages over whether Trump was basically named as a co-conspirator in a Federal crime. The connotations have generated a renewed firestorm of controversy for the administration.

Trump, meanwhile, offered praise to Manafort on Twitter because he didn’t “break” and “make up stories” to get a plea deal when he was found guilty of various tax and bank fraud charges.

I have cancelled my meeting with Judge Kavanaugh. @realDonaldTrump, who is an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal matter, does not deserve the courtesy of a meeting with his nominee—purposely selected to protect, as we say in Hawaii, his own okole.

Why is she always looking down at the lectern? I think there is some type of screen there, but surely she has no idea exactly what each reporter is going to ask.

When this Tub Of Shit refuses to answer a question, or responds in a rude manner, why doesn't the next reporter simply ask the same question. I want to see Hucklechuck's head explode.

Many have talked about this before, have very reporter ask the same question she's ignoring. Wear her down! I agree with R60. Or how about only a handful of reporters or not at all show up? Giving this administration so much airtime is ridiculous. They should all avoid these absurd press conferences.

by Anonymousreply 62August 22, 2018 10:02 PM

Before attending, the journalists should make an agreement. If SHS calls on you to ask a question, and she has just dodged/deflected the question of the journalist who spoke before you, then you should repeat the previous journalist's question rather than ask your own question. Imagine if SHS dodged the first question, and then called on another 20 journalists, all who asked the exact same question she originally dodged.

R93, part of the issue here is her hypocrisy. She went to a Baptist University and publicly revels in being a "Christian", but every day she intentionally breaks the commandment "thou shalt not lie" on a world stage.
