It's hard to believe but this is now the official White House line but it seems they are sticking by the horrifying presumption that if the FBI had not been wasting time investigating Trump's collusion with Russia they would have stopped the Parkland shooter.

Essentially they are blaming the FBI for those deaths.

Oh, and you'll note that she lied blatantly about what the administration has been doing to prevent future interference and tried to lay it off on Obama.

She is the worst press secretary in history and she gets more dishonest by the day.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders (Feb 20, 2018): “He has been tougher on Russia in one year than Obama was in eight years.”

President Trump (Nov 11, 2017): “Every time [Putin] sees me, he says, ‘I didn’t do that.’ And I believe — I really believe that when he tells me that, he means it."
