Don’t sleep on the attorney general warning Democrats he’ll investigate them if they push too hard on trying to conduct oversight of Trump https://t.co/RgBe9dbl00— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 17, 2019
That is, v. all the journalists upset because Trump complained to the realtors today about "anonymous sources"?
A few examples:
I *guarantee* you there are stories from this White House using anonymous sources who are, in fact, the President.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) May 17, 2019
Who's bullshit now, Donnie?
Also, I *guarantee* you that the Anonymous Asshole who happens to live upstairs at the White House doesn't just call reporters back and answer their questions.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) May 17, 2019
He assertively calls them off the record and pitches stories.
Such horseshit. pic.twitter.com/bkhC9HsMRa
We can ask the officials in his White House who asked to be quoted anonymously just two days ago how they feel about it. https://t.co/KSyGk2KIuF— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) May 17, 2019
"Just this week, an official from the Trump administration detailing its immigration plan did so on the condition they be referred to as a senior administration official" https://t.co/9KXTh5l2gL— Jordan Fabian (@Jordanfabian) May 17, 2019
Trump trashing press at speech to realtors right now saying anonymous sources are "bullshit." Keep in mind his own officials speak to reporters on background all the time. It's not bullshit.— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 17, 2019
Sussman is right, but it isn't only POTUS who gets all the press attention; they reserve some for themselves, as well.
