REPORT: Raj Shah Leaked Fake Story That Sarah Sanders Is On Her Way Out
Big League Politics ^ | 18 June 2018 | Patrick Howley

Posted on 06/18/2018 5:03:29 PM PDT by COBOL2Java


Deputy White House press secretary Raj Shah, as expected, is making a power play to get his boss Sarah Sanders’ job as Press Secretary, according to multiple inside sources.

Mike Cernovich reports on Shah’s alleged duplicity:

Raj Shah leaked that story about Sarah Huckabee Sanders leaving the WH to drive a wedge between her and POTUS, so he could hopefully get her spot.

Raj thought by including himself in the article, it'd throw people off the trail.

My WH sources all laughing about this.

Shah, a former Republican National Committee staffer, is known for marginalizing the independent media in press-related matters, instead favoring the corporate mainstream press.

Raj Shah is an ardent NeverTrumper who was the subject of a masterful Olivia Nuzzi piece in New York magazine exposing him for calling Trump “deplorable.” The piece included a vociferous defense of Shah from Hope Hicks, the former right-hand day-to-day woman for President Trump.

A spy you have identified can be an asset. If they fire him, the RINOs will send in another. I imagine they would rather keep him and use him

The piece included a vociferous defense of Shah from Hope Hicks, the former right-hand day-to-day woman for President Trump.

Am I reading that correctly? So, maybe Hope Hicks leaving the White House wasn't her decision, but perhaps with the "help" of someone finding out she's a "never-Trumper". I could be jumping to a huge conclusion, but if she's sticking up for Shah it certainly sounds like she's more in line with him than her former boss..

Always suspected he was a major leaker that they have looking for.

You can't deal with the bastards. Too much resentment bred in the blood.

If you're going to work for the President, you'd best be willing to fall on your sword.

This kind wants only to draw his for whatever back he most wishes to attack.

Why is this believable? It’s more believable that the press made up this story in order to try and get Sanders out of there. THAT’S what I find believable.

I’m surprised because his defenses of DJT are stunningly complete and good...at least the few I’ve seen. I’ll wait tp boot him.

Good point. Remember 150k troops in Syria? And the Syria strike restarting the draft and WW3?

I don’t trust him.
