White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders held a press briefing on Monday where she took questions from the biased liberal press.
She slapped down two reporters in a row about Roger Stone and Wikileaks. (Videos Below)
During the press briefing, Sarah Sanders put Kristen Welker from NBC and Jim Acosta of CNN in their places.
First, Welker asked Sarah, “You’re not aware that the President ruled out a pardon for Roger Stone, so does that mean he hasn’t ruled out a pardon?”
Sarah responded, “I’m not aware of any conversation or a need for it.”
Welker tried again and asked, “Can you guarantee the President won’t pardon Roger Stone?” (Videos Below)
Sarah shot back and said, “I’m not gonna talk about hypotheticals that are just ridiculous and things I haven’t talked about. “I never thought I would be shutting down one reporter to go to Jim Acosta, but here we are!”
Welker didn’t stop there and tried again. She asked, “Marco Rubio said over the weekend that working with Wikileaks should be considered a crime. Does the President agree?”
Sarah fired back with a truthbomb, “I think every single outlet that you all represent– looked for and searched for information that Wikileaks was providing, including reporting on it. So, I think there’s a responsibility by members of the media. I’m not aware of anyone here working for Wikileaks in any capacity, but I do know that every individual that represents a media organization here alone, looked for that information. Most of you reported on that information, so I think you’re just as accountable as anyone else in that process.” (Videos Below)
Next, Jim Acosta was up to bat where he tried his luck to make President Trump look bad, but he failed miserably.
“Roger Stone last week, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Michael Flynn… are you concerned, is the President concerned that more and more of his associates, former aides are brought into this investigation… are indicted, plead guilty into this investigation– that this presidency is in danger?” Acosta asked smugly.
“Not at all. In fact, I think nothing could be further from the truth. The more that this goes on, the more we see that none of these things have anything to do with the President.” Sarah said.
Sarah explained that the charges brought against Roger Stone had nothing do Trump; they are charges based off of his communications with Congress.
“Can you assure the American people that during these conversations that Roger Stone had with Wikileaks and individuals that were tied to the dumping of that material– that at no time the President had any interactions with Roger Stone– that nobody close to the President had interactions with Roger Stone… who may have told the President what was going on in those conversations? All of this when it comes to Roger Stone is a complete surprise to the President? He didn’t know about any of this, is that what you’re saying?” Acosta asked.

“What I can tell you is that the President did nothing wrong throughout this process, and the charges against the indictment of Roger Stone have absolutely nothing to do with the President.”
