I'm an idiot I didn't watch the whole (12 second) thing on the original link, on post #40487 above, I naturally thought all the fuss was about the full coverage that I'd seen of the attempts to contradict Trump's accusation of being under investigation (stay with me, it seems to get complicated but it really isn't), however … the link above is a mere snippet of the feck-up that Jay Sekulow made during the interview I saw on the June 19th Daily Show last night … it was taken from yesterday's abc coverage … I've tried to transcribe it below as it's much funnier (I'll find the actual footage if I can):
abc News VO: "President Trump is now back at The White House and once again under fire. After he sent this tweet (shows tweet) saying he 'is being investigated', now his legal team is making the rounds with this contradiction:
Jay Sekulow (Trump lawyer) Soundbite #1: "The President has not been, and is not under investigation."
JS Soundbite #2: "Let me be clear, the President is not under investigation."
abc "New this morning" VO lady: "But the attempts to correct the record, (are) leading to more confusion …"
JS Soundbite #1 talking with abc News guy: "…and now he's being investigated by the Department of Justice."
JS Soundbite #2 talking with abc News guy: "…so, he's being investigated for taking the action that the Attorney General , er, the Deputy Attorney General, recommended him to take … by the agency who recommended the termination."
FOX News Sunday guy: "You've now said that he IS being investigated after saying that he isn't …"
JS (interrupting): "NO!"
FOX News Sunday guy: "You, you just said Sir, that …
JS (interrupting again): "No, no. Not …
Cut to next soundbite of JS: "I do not appreciate you putting words into my mouth when I have been crystal clear that The President is not, and has not, been under investigation …"
EDIT: Fixed the two FOX News guy credits that UL thought were so funny!
