Well folks, looks like Trump and staff are circling the wagons to prevent information from getting out of the White House again.
This is getting kinda old.

Live White House Press briefings may soon become a thing of the past. Donny's promised wall turns out to be a stone wall to keep the media as uninformed as possible.
It's war. Donny and Bad Boy Bannon have called the American press "the opposition," opting instead for alt-right news sources like Breitbart and InfoWars.
Press secretary Sean Spicer conducted an off-camera briefing with reporters on Monday in which the press was told it could not film or broadcast audio of the proceedings.
Say what?
Apparently, the White House is hoping the press briefings don't come across as badly when in print. That's some pretty creative thinking...and really stupid.
The last live press briefing was the Monday before when Sean Spicer couldn't seem to answer any questions.
After the latest dog and pony show CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta grumbled, "The White House press secretary is getting to the point where he's just kind of useless."
Indeed. Spicer and deputy press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, have given pretty fair performances on the art of the dodge with the use of alternate realities, and outright lies.
The word now is that if Trump speaks anywhere publicly there's not going to be a White House press briefing. Period. The rationale? He only needs one voice every day.
Okay. I translate that to mean they don't want Spicy to say one thing, and Donny another, in the same day. Another sign of the great communication going on behind closed doors.
The result. The White House has no credibility. Not a shred. They're not fooling anyone. It's really bad optics for Donny's new reality show.
It's also par for the course for a president who would rather be golfing.
Hollywood is smiling.
Time for me to walk on down the road...
