1. Do their statements sound better when they're not on video?

I just don't get how the lack of on-camera statements make any of this sound more innocent. In fact, I would think this approach enhances their appearance of guilt.

3. I've been watching the snippets of Sarah Huckabee's press conferences

in which she is stumbling, bumbling and sounding stupid as fuck.

They only show a background picture of her along with her words -- I'm quite sure she looks sillier and stupider in real time.

This has to be super embarrassing for them. And her (to the extent she can feel embarrassment).

With just a audio, no sympathy, just the facts ma'am, and

they will critique her lack of the ability to speak properly

10. They should have a lifesize photo of Sanders, with the actress behind it, so we just hear her.

That would show TrumpCo how stupid this looks.
