(59,510 posts)Spicer is a WH employee who is supposed to give answers on the WH (President's) opinion on various issues. Just as the WH counsel should not deal with Trump, Kushner etc legal problems, Spicer should not run interference giving answers on Trump's personal legal matters.
As it was, by and large, Clinton's spokespeople did answer questions -- not the State Department spokesperson.
