Trump’s White House Goes Weirdly Silent On The Nunes Memo

The release of the so-called Nunes memo on Friday was hyped in conservative circles—and by those close to the White House—as the next Watergate, only, well, bigger.

It was a scandal that would rock American politics and law enforcement to its core and, at a minimum, raise serious questions about the integrity of the investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election.
The memo was released on Friday afternoon. And the White House’s reaction to its release has been conspicuously muted.
Late into Friday afternoon, President Donald Trump had not publicly discussed or tweeted about the memo since fielding questions about 45 minutes prior to its release.
The White House did put out a formal statement on the memo. But it was done under the name of the press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The most prominent social media presences in the administration put nothing about the memo on Twitter. White House officials were entirely absent from the airwaves to discuss it.
Allies to the administration and friendly Capitol Hill Republicans received little to no guidance from the president’s team about what their spin on the memo should be.
