Just my gut, not substantiated by any "facts," but...

1). I think Spicer never wanted to know the "truth." I think he'd decided to receive a paycheck for being a mouthpiece, and the less he "knew," the better. He always seemed uncomfortable at the podium.

2). I think Kellyanne "knows" a lot, and gets off on the lying.

3). I think Sanders is somewhere in between. It's probably "just a job" for her as well, but she's chosen sides, and she probably thinks God wants her to do it, so she reconciles it all one way or another.

Problem is, lying works for them in the court of public opinion. Trump supporters are not swayed one iota by the incessant lies coming from Trump or his sycophants. And you know what? It's not illegal.

Put these MF'ers under oath, however, and the entire game changes. It'll be so much fun watching Conway and Trump Jr. and Pence and all the gang twisting like pretzels under legal interrogation. I bet there will be a LOT of contradictory testimony. The court of public opinion may not be affected, but the court of law will open jail doors for them, that much is certain.

She is a graduate of Trinity and George Washington Universities. How can a person so smart like that be so stupid. Not just stupid, but one digit IQ stupid.
