The White House on Monday refused to be drawn into the growing controversy over claims that Hillary Clinton's allies tried to smear Donald Trump, and whether internet data collection amounted to spying.
Three times Joe Biden's principal deputy press secretary was asked whether the president had any concerns about campaigns hacking into opponents' computer systems to gather dirt.
And three times during the White House daily briefing Karine Jean-Pierre referred all questions to the Department of Justice.
The tussle followed a new legal filing in Special Counsel John Durham's probe into the origins of the Russia investigation. It alleged that a tech executive, linked to Clinton's 2016 campaign, gained access to internet traffic at Trump Tower and the White House with the intention of collecting dirt on Trump.
Trump allies quickly cited it as proof of the former president's claim he was being illegally spied on and that the Russian collusion tale was a hoax.
The issue was raised at the White House briefing.
Jacqui Heinrich, of Fox News, asked: 'Does the president have any concerns about a candidate for president using computer experts to infiltrate computer systems of competing candidates - or even the president-elect - for the goal of creating a narrative ... Is that something ...'
Jean-Pierre cut her off, saying: 'That's something I can't speak to from this podium so I refer you to the Department of Justice.'
Heinrich tried again: 'Is what's been described in that report, monitoring internet traffic, is that spying?'
'Again I can't speak to that report. I refer you to the Department of Justice,' came the response.
Heinrich broadened her question, saying: 'Generally speaking though, would monitoring internet traffic...'
'Jacqui, my answer's not going to change,' said Jean-Pierre. 'I refer you to Department of Justice. I can't speak for that...'

False flag coming up!
Ukraine is the false flag. Or is it a wag the dog?
I get these CIA/Derp State lies mixed up sometime. Suffice to say, the derps will do (and have done) ANYTHING to protect their power. Up to and including a nuclear strike.

(note the date)

Can't my Aunt Fannie's fanny!
WON'T is the word she should use there
and she won't use it.
Russian News Perspective. I agree with them. Biden is the one beating the war drum.
“ The US and Britain are currently engaging in illegal war propaganda, prohibited by the UN’s International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said on Sunday.
Writing on her Telegram channel, Zakharova accused the West of breaking the treaty, signed in New York in 1966, which mandates sanctions against countries inciting war and hatred.
“What we are seeing now is war propaganda in its purest form,” Zakharova said, accusing London and Washington of provoking violence by supplying arms to Ukraine, while also sending over instructors and holding military exercises.
“The US and the UK have pulled out a tool from their stash that they have been keeping for a good half-century. And now they are waving it around like a club, supporting controlled hysteria through CNN, Bloomberg, and British tabloids, thereby influencing public opinion in their countries,” she continued.”

I’m betting Hillary will whack a witness to send a message during all this.
Where's the Trust?
{;^)
Little Karine is definitely way in over her single digit I.Q. head.
Imagine if you will, a time shortly after a Presidential election was stolen. The President's alternative communication channel was about to go silent and all power was soon to pass to the derp state thieves.
The Trump team's second to last message is 'Durham'. Just 'Durham'. I think we can surmise what the message there was without cute, igorant pettifoggery, don't you?
Durham endeavors to persevere.
(and the 3rd and 4th to last)

Of course she [they] will. Won't be the first and won't be the last.

I’m waiting until the perp walks and artist sketches from a Federal Trial before I break out into my happy dance.
Celebrations are premature if you axe me.
The same music played with Hillary’s 30,000 emails.
Now? We've been seeing it since Trump was elected. Why else make Russia the enemy and let China take us over?
Russia and Trump America are the enemies of the Derp State. Simple as that. All the Russia, Russia, Russia has been and is a complete lie.
Make no mistake, rabbit. Nobody is breaking out into a happy dance. Much work needs to be done yet, most importantly getting doubting Thomas's and naive rabbits like YOU on board the propaganda train.
Would it kill you to be positive? Maybe you could just pretend? Its your attitude that sapped power from Trump (and still does).
Sure I’m positive.
The way I do it in my head is I set the bar low, worse outcome possible, anything above that is a plus or win.
We still have to get through witnesses committing suicide.
Judges tossing the cases or ruling evidence can’t be used.
Support for Jan. 6th protesters or child porn found on Durham’s computer.
Probably Jan. 6th stuff on his computer will be worse than child porn to a liberal.
So there’s a long road ahead.
(can you detect the sarcasm?)
Now get back in line with the rest of the shlubs and explain to us how NOTHING'S GONNA HAPPEN. That never gets old, out here beyond the trees.
And it was a wonderful joke. It opened the door for my rebuttal, which has much power.
You can be the Bud Abbot to my Costello. Whaddya say?
I even put a smile on it!
I put a smile at the end of every one of my posts. Have you noticed?
Who's on first?
Ping!
