Karine Jean-Pierre ends press briefing after being pressed on Durham report: 'Fled the podium'
Fox News ^ | 5/16/23 | Lindsay Kornick

Posted on 05/17/2023 1:57:34 AM PDT by Libloather

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre declined to comment from the White House podium Tuesday about Special Counsel John Durham’s report on the investigation into Trump-Russia collusion.

Durham’s 300-page report found that the FBI and Department of Justice "failed to uphold their mission of strict fidelity to the law" regarding its investigation into possible Russia collusion with the Trump campaign in 2016. Though the report dropped on Monday, only RealClearNews reporter Philip Wegmann referred to Durham’s report and asked for a reaction at the White House press briefing.

"What is the White House reaction to special counsel report on how the FBI handled the Trump-Russia probe?" Wegmann asked the press secretary.

Jean-Pierre responded, "I would leave it to the Department of Justice to speak to that."

Wegmann pressed further, asking, "The president talks often about how he wants the DOJ and FBI to remain independent and above the fray. That report seems to reflect the opposite. Does he agree with Special Counsel Durham that there needs to be wholesale changes at the FBI?"

"Again, that is with the Department of Justice," Jean-Pierre said as she closed her briefing book. "That's not something that I'm going to speak from the podium. As you just stated in your question, we believe in an independent Department of Justice. That's what the president said when he was running and that's what the president has said the last two years."

"Thank you so much. I'll see you guys in Japan," she said while leaving the podium before any more questions could be asked.

Social media users blasted the response for ignoring both the White House and Jean-Pierre’s own history with the Russia collusion allegation.

You are right to mention MUELLER.

THAT little bastid could have ended this...and he chose to pretend that it should have been investigated further.

WHAT A ROTTEN PERSON THIS GUY MUST BE.

I’d posit if a “reporter” brings this up, they’ll be blacklisted.

I hope the House Judiciary Committee goes into full throttle with subpoenas and under oath testimony.

Of course they would. At what point are these stations going to quit covering things up and realize they are going to lose advertisement money and viewers. I can’t believe fox owner wants to sell but fired tucker and drove the stock price down. Makes no sense unless there is going to be a massive buy out of the stations and will be owned by one person.

I don’t think it is that they cannot achieve grade school morality, it is that they reject all morality. Being “moral” for them is using any means to maintain power and control. Lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating, threatening, killing are all moral tools they use to achieve their end of power, money and control.

She should have been asked about the briefing that Biden got on the Clinton Plan to smear Trump with the Russia Collusion hoax. Apparently, Biden thought that was a good idea.

Did you see the glare from q-tip at the end?

They really do think they are superior and that the ends justify the means.

“They really do think they are superior and that the ends justify the means.”

“we believe in an independent Department of Justice.”

You also believe in a mythical “climate change” caused by fossil fuels, that the sea level is rising despite all logic, stats and facts to the contrary, and that men pretending to be women can conceive and give birth. What’s next? A WH-inspired federal push to “save the unicorns”?

Karine Jean-Pierre can flee the podium faster then the roadrunner when askes a honest question.

From the New York Post comments section:

Frank Gerrard
1 hour ago

When you run out of options up the “food-chain” of justice, with the alphabet agencies and elected/appointed officials just refusing to enforce existing law, the people are left with rebellion as a the only choice. When a President/King declares that “they” have F-15’s and “we” only have AR-15”s, I think the message of governance by force as a means of rule is clear. When there are no avenues of recourse when years of political lies have no consequence, what, except rebellion, are the options?

Our political and justice systems are a stark reflection of our human intellectual limitations in rendering rational fairness in our public and political forums. Without the “will” to strive for accountability, we will continue to see the deterioration of the American experiment that has been a beacon of hope for many across the world.

If the left prefers, “throwing the baby out with the bath water”, they will be left with an ungovernable police state from which they mistakenly believe they will be immune.
