Ousted White House press secretary Sean Spicer caused a panic among Trump advisors, who flipped out over worries he may have admitted a violation of a federal court ruling, according to a new report in Politico. Reporters Annie Karni and Josh Gerstein report on outreach they received after an oral history was published by GQ Magazine on Tuesday.
After the interview was published, four people who worked with Spicer on the campaign and at the RNC reached out to Politico to express surprise that he highlighted his presence on the fifth floor which served as the nerve center of the campaigns poll-monitoring operation and data war room that day because party employees were given strict instructions prohibiting them from going there, Politico noted.
The unfinished fifth floor of Trump Tower was the war room according to Trump national field coordinator and battleground states director Matt Mowers, as recounted to GQ in the oral history.
There are severe consequences for any violation of the Consent Decree, one of which will be a renewal of its provisions for another eight years, read the legal memo. It is set to expire in 2017 (after nearly 4 decades) but only if no violation occurs between now and then.
U.S. District Court Judge John Vazquez is now presiding over the case.
Thursday, the RNC argued the consent decree should be allowed to expire as planned on December 1st.

Hopefully this is finally coming to an end but I fear that as usual any victory will be small and temporary.

We put a black President in the White House twice.
And we did it without help from Putin and his puppet Assange.
We are capable, smart, and powerful.
The consequences of lettting Donald Trump hijack the republican party will be enormous and long lasting.
Oh, and this is no longer a criminal investigation. It is a counterintelligence operation, and can run for DECADES as long as the sources are protected, and with any luck we will see TRAITOROUS SCUM GETTING LOCKED UP CONTINUOUSLY until the operations details are declassified.
Have a nice day!
