Quote(s) Of The Day – Sarah Sanders

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 23: White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders talks to reporters following a television interview with FOX News outside the White House January 23, 2019 in Washington, DC. After the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association said the partial federal government shutdown -- now in it's 33rd day -- is making it difficult for them to do their jobs, Sanders said President Trump is working to make the country safe by demanding a wall to keep out drugs and reduce human trafficking.

Once again we have early contenders for Quote Of The Day, and these two will be tough to beat. White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders this morning on CNN—

(On the Roger Stone indictment)

“This has nothing to do with the president.”

(On the government shutdown and the border wall)

“The president isn’t hung up on the wall.”

Sanders downplays Stone's arrest: "This has nothing to do w/the president & certainly nothing to do with the White House. This is something that has to do solely w/that individual, not something that affects us in this building… will the same standard apply to Hillary Clinton?" pic.twitter.com/sRjHYZdr5k

Part of the indictment of Roger Stone reads:

“After July 22, 2016, release of stolen DNC e-mails by Organization 1, a senior Trump Campaign official was directed to contact STONE about any additional releases and what other damaging information Organization 1 had about the Clinton campaign.”

Organization 1 is Wikileaks. The question is who directed the senior campaign official to ask for more? Donald Trump?

Sarah Sanders didn’t answer.
