Another potential Mueller honey pot: Spicer's notebooks

Axios ^ | Sep 21, 2017 | Mike Allen

The Watergate resonance of the Bob Mueller probe rose this week with a CNN report that the special counsel has details of wiretaps of "former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort under secret court orders before and after the election."

Now we can tell you about another potential honey pot for Mueller. Former colleagues of Sean Spicer tell Axios that he filled "notebook after notebook" during meetings at the Republican National Committee, later at the Trump campaign, and then at the White House.

When Spicer worked at the RNC, he was said to have filled black books emblazoned with the party's seal. Spicer was so well-known for his copious notes that underlings joked about him writing a tell-all.

• One source familiar with the matter said that the records were just to help him do his job.
• "Sean documented everything," the source said.
• That surprised some officials of previous White Houses, who said that because of past investigations, they intentionally took as few notes as possible when they worked in the West Wing.

When we texted Spicer for comment on his note-taking practices, he replied: "Mike, please stop texting/emailing me unsolicited anymore."

When I replied with a "?" (I have known Spicer and his wife for more than a dozen years), he answered: "Not sure what that means. From a legal standpoint I want to be clear: Do not email or text me again. Should you do again I will report to the appropriate authorities."

The WashPost reported Sept. 8 that Mueller "has alerted the White House that his team will probably seek to interview" Spicer and five other top current and former Trump advisers.

One White House official told me: "People are going to wish they'd been nicer to Sean. … He was in a lot of meetings."

About an hour after Spicer's texts, he replied to a polite email I had sent earlier, seeking comment:

Per my text:

Please refrain from sending me unsolicited texts and emails

Should you not do so I will contact the appropriate legal authorities to address your harassment

Sounds like Sean is feeling the heat.

I’ve served on boards and the bottom line is: no notes.

[a fool in paradise]

How queer no one took notes when the FIB questioned Hitlery Rotten Clinton.

Sounds like he is sick of his friendship being abused

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Evidently Mueller considers political activity by non-Democrats to be illegal.

[Chgogal]

Sounds like Sean is none too bright.

[miss marmelstein]

This stuff is starting to scare me. Our country is totally under siege from evil people...

You mean the interview by the FBI where she wasn't under oath?

[gibsonguy]

We he did go the Trump roast Emmy’s which could be a bad sign. He’s also having trouble getting a gig. He is ripe to be turned.

[FreeReign]

The Deep State's witch hunt of its political opponents, continues.

And Sessions approves of it.

[butlerweave]

Evidently Mueller considers political activity by non-Democrats to be illegal.

because this witch hunt is Democrat Lead ,just preparing for the next election . It should be an investigation going after Obama and his Admin ,who ever put Mueller in charge is in the pocket of the Democrats

[Regulator]

Evidently Mueller considers political activity by non-Democrats to be illegal

And that's all this is. The agencies - dominated by Rats - are attempting to overthrow the Presidency and upend the Constitution.

Mueller thinks that he's above Trump. And he doesn't think he should ever have to run for office, it's his birthright to rule us.

Just like Hillary.

The woman he works for.

[bk1000]

So who says when this is done? Who can say, “Guys, this is BS. Time to move on.” When does Trump actually take control of the DOJ and start frog marching Dem perps?

Not really rhetorical questions. It seems as if no one is in charge but Muller. There seem to be no limits to this nonsense.

[a fool in paradise]

Would want her to contradict herself let alone commit perjury.

[SunkenCiv]

A witch hunt, how appropriate for this time of year. Thanks upchuck.

[Terry Mross]

Everyone admits they don’t take a lot of notes for fear of a criminal investigation. They also just admitted that they’re hiding their criminal activities m

[dandiegirl]

He needs to burn those notes pdq

[RoseofTexas]

Rush just mentioned the rats have a lot invested in bringing down Trump...come hell or high water they are going to fine something anything to slam Trump with!! F’ing SESSIONS LITTLE ASSHOLE slImy SWAMP CREATURE!! Ugh!

[factoryrat]

Sounds kind of shady if you ask me.

Plausible deniability? “I don’t recall” or other form of selective amnesia pehaps?

Spicer got screwed over by the GOP-e and deep state f#%($ who are now surrounding Trump and attempting to cut him off.
