Yet what distinguishes the Trump era’s turbulence is the sheer number of his deputies — many of them largely anonymous before his inauguration — who have become the focus of planned and sometimes spontaneous public fury.

Spicer’s presence that night has caused some unease among Republicans because the expiration of a 35-year-old settlement, or consent decree, barring the RNC from engaging in ballot security operations may depend on it.

Spicer was grilled about the firing of former FBI director James Comey and his statements regarding the firing, as well as about Trump’s meetings with Russian officials

But asked [...] if he had ever lied from the podium, Spicer said: “I don’t think so.”

Former colleagues of Sean Spicer tell Axios that he filled "notebook after notebook" during meetings at the Republican National Committee, later at the Trump campaign, and then at the White House.

Spicer claims it was his job to say whatever President Trump told him to say.

In addition to Priebus, Spicer and Hicks, Mueller has notified the White House he will probably seek to question White House counsel Don McGahn and one of his deputies, James Burnham.

“Audiences around the world will benefit from the same candor, wit and insight that Spicer brought to the White House briefing room”

In the wake of Scaramucci’s departure, Spicer ... briefly considered staying on at the White House

“Two sources with direct knowledge of the situation said that Scaramucci is being primed to eventually take on the position of chief of staff.”

Nope. Absolutely not.

Scaramucci has a contentious relationship with both Spicer and Priebus, each of whom vehemently objected to Trump’s decision to install him in the top communications job.

...telling President Trump he vehemently disagreed with the appointment of the New York financier Anthony Scaramucci as communications director.

"As he said yesterday, the president is very supportive of the draft Senate health-care bill, which represents the next step in repealing and replacing Obamacare."

Asked why the briefings are now routinely held off-camera, White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said in a text message “Sean got fatter,” and did not respond to a follow-up.

...part of a broader overhaul of the administration’s most public-facing operation that has long been the subject of President Trump’s ire and criticism.

Spicer, in a statement on Sunday, refuted the idea that Priebus is facing a July 4 deadline. "Whoever is saying that is either a liar or out of the loop," Spicer said.

Trump is “very pleased” with his staff ... Trump’s relationship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel is “fairly unbelievable” ... Trump is “frustrated” by the pace of legislation

Trump has taken to occasionally dissecting Spicer's words on specific questions, pointing out mistakes and giving him tips on how to respond in the future

“Trump has done something I thought was impossible,” tweeted Josh Dawsey, Politico White House reporter. “He has made everyone empathize with/defend Spicer.”

Asked about Spicer not being included in the group that met the Pope, a source close to the White House said: "Wow. That's all he wanted," adding it should "very much" be seen as a slight.

“it would be an honor to serve the country”

The point of secretly recording people is that it's supposed to be secret

To be clear, Spicer was merely among the bushes. Not in. Among.

So he did the reasonable thing and shouted the news to reporters who happened to be hanging out outside his office at the time, then immediately retreated to his office and locked the door.

What Spicer appears to be saying is that the Trump White House didn’t trust or believe Yates when she first came to raise concerns about Flynn for no other reason than that she was an “Obama appointee”

When the president or the administration have made a mistake, Spicer has succeeded in deflecting attention by making himself the story, often at the expense of his own image and credibility.

Trump has spent 68 of the 176 days since he won the presidential election talking about the fact that he won the presidential election.

Orrick homed in on the vast discrepancies between what government lawyers defending the sanctuary cities order argued in court and what administration officials said about it in public.

Spicer refused to acknowledge the delay is really a delay.

“I’m not firing Sean Spicer,” he said, ... “That guy gets great ratings. Everyone tunes in.”

...doing so would discourage outsiders who require anonymity to offer frank advice to the president and his top advisers.

Spicer's comments came on the first day of Passover and a day after the White House held a Seder dinner marking the emancipation of the Jewish people

"You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons"

Republican Sen. John McCain told CNN's Alisyn Camerota there was more than enough blame to go around for Obama and Trump.

ProPublica ... did not appreciate Spicer calling it a “left-wing blog” during the Monday press briefing

But there’s an unmistakable connection between his use of “phenomenal” and issues that seem to be not going so hot for the White House.

Spicer angrily dismissed inquiries about the matter Tuesday, declaring that "every single person who's been briefed on this, as I've said ad nauseam from this podium ... have been very clear that there is no connection between the president or the staff here and anyone doing anything with Russia."

“If the president puts Russian salad dressing on his salad tonight, somehow that's a Russian connection.”

"It's not just about making deals, it's about knowing when to walk away from deals and knowing when there's a bad deal that's the only solution."

...another example of the stoop-to-any-levelism of the current White House press operation.

“There’s a huge appetite for tax returns,” Spicer said

...Spicer promised that the Republican effort to replace Obamacare wouldn’t be “jammed down people’s throats” in the way he said the Affordable Care Act was in 2010

"Wrong and Misleading: he spoke broadly and never mentioned any person," Spicer tweeted

"He's venturing into Baghdad Bob territory," one White House reporter said

Sean Spicer, meet Ron Ziegler.

Yeah, you were just quoting Sean Hannity there.

“I think there is pretty sound evidence that the microwave is not a sound way of surveilling someone,” Spicer said.

Spicer said in the video that the United States is “such a great country that allows you to be here.”

Indeed, according to the U.S. Code, “the flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.”

“If you’re looking at the C.B.O. for accuracy, you’re looking in the wrong place”

Rosen confirmed that his phones had not been tapped, but that his phone records and emails had been obtained by the Justice department.

...one main reason AHCA is so much shorter than ACA is that it leaves an awful lot of ACA provisions intact

Spicer personally picked up the phone and connected outside officials with reporters ... then remained on the line for the brief conversations

Reporter writes story WH doesn't like/disputes. WH anonymously plants false story about reporter.

...staffers were told to dump their phones on a table for a “phone check," to prove they had nothing to hide.

I imagine it must be really annoying when someone puts out false info about where you were born. Must really bother you!!

“Conservative, liberal or otherwise, that’s what makes a democracy a democracy versus a dictatorship.”

“The president was using that as an adjective. It is happening with precision,” ... Spicer told reporters Thursday.

“I was curious if the president regrets or wants to clarify his characterization … of the media as an enemy of the American people.”

I wish that they [the Anne Frank Center] had praised the president for his leadership in this area.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer can't seem to get anyone's name right. Enter your name below to see what he would call you.

Michael Flynn resigned because he got caught, not because of what he did. White House press secretary Sean Spicer confirmed this with his statement during Tuesday’s press briefing that Flynn did “nothing wrong or inappropriate.”

Canadian officials are unlikely to be upset about the “Joe” gaffe. Joe from Canada is featured in Molson advertisements after all.

Everything about this story suggests that the White House has many secrets to hide and little of the time to prepare, the competence to execute or the cooperation of the President to hide them effectively.

The crucial first interview after this ruling with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was given to the glorious official news outlet of the Trump administration, Breitbart News.

Trump told his staff that Spicer's comments made Conway look as if she was in trouble at the White House.

Spicer was on the offensive, annoyed at those who got in his way and not afraid to make that clear to everyone. Unintentionally — I think! — Spicer seemed to be channeling Melissa McCarthy's impersonation of him over the weekend.

“Because the mission failed did not in any way diminish their courage and willingness to help their fellow Americans who were held captive. Mr. Spicer should know that story.”

There are clearly efforts to undermine that name based on her father's positions on particular policies that he's taken. This is a direct attack on his policies and her name.

There has never been an Islamist terror attack in Atlanta.

“There’s a streak of meanness now that they’ve crossed over to mean."

In a surprise cameo, McCarthy mimicked Spicer's famously combative first appearance with the White House press corps, where he angrily took issue with reports about the size of the crowd at Trump's inauguration.

“Iran has violated the Joint Resolution, that Iran’s additional hostile actions that it took against our Navy vessel are ones that we are very clear are not going to sit by and take”

Douglass has been dead for more than 120 years.

Essentially, Spicer used the new Skype seats to give himself four chances to recite vague talking points without being challenged by a journalist.

“But it can't be ... a ban if you're letting a million people in, if 325,000 people from another country can't come in,” Spicer said. “That, by nature, is not a ban.”

Asked about a memo signed by dozens of State Department diplomats opposing the temporary ban [...], spokesman Sean Spicer encouraged the federal employees to "either get with the program or they can go."

"He's got a tremendous understanding of the world and the geopolitical landscape that we have now," he said.

@SeanSpicer's role in the Trump administration will be to provide the American public with robust and clearly articulated misinformation.

It's also a pretty shitty password.

Spicer did not provide hard data to back up the claim

US president Donald Trump is being “demoralized” by the drumbeat of negative press

Spicer lamented what he called a "constant theme to undercut the tremendous support" that Trump has

Could he get through an entire five minute speech to the press without slipping in an attack on his arch-enemy Dippin’ Dots, The Ice Cream Of The Future?

Anyone — citizen or journalist — who is surprised by false claims from the new inhabitant of the Oval Office hasn’t been paying attention.
