Yeah, it's not the arms deals itself, it's that Spicer is now on record as saying he believes that the contracts were signed. That's a big thing to be wrong about it.

Eh. We could expect that he wouldn't be talking obstruction with regard to conduct that happened on his watch, given what has previously leaked, and he wouldn't say it about his own firing because he can just defer to the existing investigation and doesn't want it to seem like that's what motivated his testimony.

It's normal for Spicer.

He and Sanders have always been pure propaganda, they get up there and read a prepared statement about all the mundane bullshit Trump is doing. Then they deflect and lie, run out when things get too hot. Skype calls and other stuff to pad the time so they don't have to take many questions.

Yeah this whole thing is gonna end up like the other testimonies with the subject being turned into "WHY DIDN'T YOU FIND THE LEAKERS THAT'S REALLY WHY YOU GOT FIRED" and not the more important topic at hand.

The press corps is insulated and unlikely to ever riot. If Spicy did this on the streets he'd need police protection.
