Dictators love to revise history. In my research for the next video, I was looking for The White House press briefing of January 22, 2017, because in it The White House made a false statement.

The video has been deleted.

Picture 1 shows a screenshot of the video, where Sean Spicer wore a light grey suit. This screenshot is from CNN where a clip from the video was used.

Picture 2 shows this video no longer exists among the oldest of the archived White House videos.

Is this even legal?

@randahl It's a presidential record and should be preserved. No idea if it's preserved outside of the public's reach yet still in compliance with the Presidential Records Act.

You'll recall this same POTUS stole classified documents and presidential records, refused to return them, and couldn't be prosecuted because of evasive manipulations of the prosecutorial process and Trump's winning a second term. SCOTUS decision on immunity has exacerbated the situation.

Since when did 47 and crew worry about legal? We're lucky there were enough cooler heads around 45 to inhibit him some.

hi!
I found a piece of the video, which may include the false statements you are looking for. It was kept by the Canadians at CBC 😁 Look at the video in this page. If it not what you are looking for, let me know, maybe I can find others.

@randahl Is this video archived on the Web Archive (Way back Machine)? It can archive YouTube videos as well.

@tapafon if you mean archive.org, I checked, but it does not seam to handle the dynamic UI of YouTube very well.
