The White House released a statement Friday after Paul Manafort reached a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller to cooperate with the investigation, saying: “This had absolutely nothing to do with the President.”

This is basically end-stage Spicerism, a shrug with “well what do you even want me to say”.
I wouldn’t be shocked if SHS is on her way out. Sad, low-energy denial. Rats jumping.
Of all the bald faced lies to emanate from this administration and from this particular pie hole, this may be the baldest!

Trump on the other hand thinks this is great, let’s see how many of the WH staff leave now.
Always with the straw men, these people. They want to hear about Trump’s crimes from Manafort, so they offered him a deal on his crimes. But as a thing to blurt out while you’re strapping on your life vest, I guess it’s as good a response as you could make.
Well, that settles it. Let’s move on!
