I think the curtain is about to close on Sean Spicer, and probably would have already if Team Trump had anyone to shove out there to take his place.
Here is something from today that just cracked me up. The new story is not only that Mike Flynn is having to register as a foreign agent for work he did for Turkey (for a half mill), but that the Trump transition team knew about it before the inauguration, meaning they knew about it before he was named National Security Advisor. They say Trump didn't personally know, which is odd for someone who is totally in charge of his organization.
Anyway, Spicer says it is no problem since Flynn is papering it up now. Here is his quote:
"There's nothing nefarious about doing anything that's legal as long as the proper paperwork is filed."
I'm no lawyer (or maybe I am), but I just don't think that is true. Experience and common sense tell me that "legal" and "right" aren't the same.
Just to be sure, I looked up some synonyms for nefarious. Here are a few: evil, immoral, iniquitous, bad, unethical, unsavory, vicious, vile, villainous, wicked, and wrong. Based just upon this, I would say there are quite a few ways you can do something legal, file all the paperwork, and still have it be nefarious.
It seems to me that Spicer is spinning closer and closer to the sun in an effort to keep his job, which will only hasten his departure, as he looks more and more foolish. He should salvage some dignity and quit now before he is fired in disgrace from the worst job in town.
