Fox News media analyst points out a big problem in Sarah Sanders response to Woodward’s book
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward is releasing a book titled “Fear: Trump in the White House,” that details President Donald Trump’s administration.
On Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried to discredit the book by claiming it was a collection of “fabricated stories, many by former disgruntled employees.”
However, Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz pointed out one flaw in Sanders claim.
According to Kurtz, the book uses quotes from current White House employees and not just those of the past.
“Some damaging quotes are attributed to current WH officials,” Kurtz said. [sic]

Adam Schiff sends signal that a Roger Stone pardon would be another impeachable offense
Rep. Adam Schiff suggested that a presidential pardon for Roger Stone would be an impeachable offense.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced the longtime Republican operative to 40 months in prison, saying Stone had lied to Congress and threatened a witness to cover up possible wrongdoing by President Donald Trump -- and Schiff sent a warning against a pardon.
"Roger Stone was found guilty of lying to Congress and threatening a witness," Schiff tweeted.
Schiff, who led the impeachment inquiry and trial, agreed with Jackson -- whose language echoed the lawmaker's "corrupt scheme and cover-up" indictment during the Senate trial.

After Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for charges of perjury, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice, a crowd of people greeted the right-wing dirty trickster by chanting, "Lock him up!" outside the courthouse.
