White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany schooled a reporter about Obamagate on Friday. The smug reporter asked the press secretary to name the specific elements of the crime that members of the Obama administration may have committed. After first acknowledging the lack of journalistic curiosity on the subject by the mainstream media, McEnany went through a list of possible crimes.
"The Steele Dossier, funded by the Democratic National Committee, ... was used to obtain FISA warrants to listen in on conversations of people within the Trump campaign. There was the unmasking the identity of Michael Flynn, and we know that in a January 5th meeting in the Oval Office with President Obama, Sally Yates from the Department of Justice ... was stunned by [Presdient Obama's] knowledge of that. We know that there was a lot of wrongdoing in the case of Michael Flynn," McEnany continued. "The FBI notes, for instance, that said should 'we get him to lie' as they pontificated their strategy. We know that the identity of this three-decade general was leaked to the press, a criminal leak to the press of his identity in violation of [his rights.]"
Despite asking the press secretary "what crime was committed," the reporter griped that McEnany had only mentioned one criminal act, so the press secretary gave a few more.
"[I]f you want to start going through wrongdoing in the administration, happy to go through Andy McCabe leaking to the Wall Street Journal and then lying about it," McEnany continued. "Happy to talk about James Clapper lying before Congress saying the NSA does not monitor phone calls. That was an inaccuracy to say the least, if not a lie. John Brennan telling Congrees that 'the bogus Steele Dossier played no role in the Russian probe,' when in fact we know it did and was the basis for obtaining FISA warrants."
The media is accusing the Trump administration of inventing crimes when, as the press secretary noted, that's precisely what Trump's critics spent the past three years doing.
"For three years you all talked about collusion and there was none. And it was a huge injustice, not just to this administration but to the American people who deserve truth, not the alleging of absolutely false allegations against this president."
Also in the press briefing, McEnany proved House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has no idea what's going on in Washington as she's been eating gourmet ice cream in her California mansion.

Kayleigh McEnany holds White House press briefing
Dang. A wedding ring. I was going to invite her to be Mrs. Skooz.
IIRC, Kayleigh’s husband is a MLB pitcher
Does she have a sister who is single?
He’s a Durham Bull.
But being a LHer, he’ll get another shot at the majors, assuming there isn’t a strike/lockout this season and next.

Tony charmed the panties off of the women and fags so there was never any real confrontation.
Sarah Huckleberry was good but too nice.
Did I mention that Kayleigh has bigger balls than any press secretary we've ever had.
She could be my foxhole buddy in times of war {or piece}:)
Her best asset is that she is prepared for the shit storm, and has her own preplanned rebuttal, and launches at the first opportunity.
Her canned rejoinder is, "Thank you, that's a great question, and have you ever considered"...and she is off to the wood shed dragging them by the panties.
They still haven’t learned that “Murder Hornet” McEnany is playing for keeps...
SHE SCORCHES THE MEDIA,THE LIBERALS and DEMS.......Sidney Powell and Kayleigh could run the country.....
The pinkos in the so-called “news” media are claiming that using the fell powers of government to undermine the results of an election are not a crime?
That coordinating with a political campaign to fabricate a criminal case against a candidate is not a crime?
I'd take a second cousin, twice removed.
Where do we go for a “Press” worthy of the First Amendment?
Can we rent one?
She’s awesome, but beating the press is only of limited satisfaction to me. I want to see criminal indictments. I want to see the perps go through what they put Flynn through.
In your dreams.
However, with that soft voice, she cracks a harsh whip like few I have seen. Sarah Huckabee was very competent in her time. Kayleigh is much more aggressive and goes for the throat. She does this with a nice smile and a friendly voice.
I think her style is more in line with Pres. Trump's way of pointing out those uncomfortable facts of the democrats to the biased press.
I looked up her credentials and was very impressed. She went to some of top universities, and has a law degree from Harvard. Very well educated and quick on her feet.
She revealed in a recent press conference that she had a preemptive mastectomy because of likely hood of future cancer due to family genetics?
She has movie actress good looks, but she is sharp as a whip. The press doesn’t dare criticize or mock her. More people will become aware of her.
My wife admires her a great deal already. The media toads want her to repeat what she has already told them and then act like they don’t understand. She turns them inside out.
But it’s hilarious seeing all those media hacks wearing their masks like good little communists.
She’s making the media cautious about questions asked. She’s anticipating them and now they are scared. They will try to tear her down, and she expects it. However, she’s a fighter and the media better beware.
I miss Tony Snow.
Nice language
Does anyone know of her previous work and reputation?
If she wasn't a hired gun, she is now. She will have an interesting career.
If I was a male reporter I would wear a jockey strap because this lady continues to kick them in the balls every day!
