This is hilarious! They expect the American people to believe it was all the Russians, and the so-called president was tricked. 

 

I bet Putin called Trump to  tell him "Gotcha!"

Washington (CNN)The White House did not anticipate that the Russian government would allow its state news agency to post photographs of an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Drumpf, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russia's ambassador to the US, a White House official said.

Photos of Wednesday's meeting, taken by a Russian state news media photographer one day after Drumpf fired FBI Director James Comey amid questions about possible Drumpf campaign collusion with Moscow, were ultimately posted by Russia's news agency, TASS.

The White House did not post photos of the meeting although an official White House photographer was also in the room, the White House said. The State Department did post photos of Lavrov's meeting with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, but that was open to the press.

 

 

"They tricked us," an angry White House official said.

"That's the problem with the Russians -- they lie," the official added.

The Russians used the photos to troll the White House in its social media posts Wednesday. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted a photo of a smiling US President shaking hands with Lavrov on Twitter, adding strange and ironic optics to the questions already swirling around the White House over Comey's firing.

I know when I need a photo of the oval office, I always look to the TASS archives.  I wonder if they have any audio feeds of the WH?

I think Putin has a better chance of knowing what color the so-called president is wearing, than any of the WH staff.
