Stevieslaw: Pure Coincidence

Sarah Huckabee Sanders assured the press today that the permanent relocation of three senior members of the Trump campaign to Bahrain is not connected to the ongoing Mueller investigation.

“There is no way of knowing,” she told the press, “If these are the same officials mentioned in the Papadopoulos indictment, as their names were not released.”

“The Trump family will provide the money for the three individuals and their families, friends and acquaintances to relocate,” she said, “because it is the right thing to do—although, I’m sure some of you will find some sinister motive for it.”

When Smokey Diamond—the intrepid reporter for Stevieslaw—pointed out that Bahrain has no extradition treaty with the United States, Huckabee responded, “even if that is true, it is purely coincidental.”

Huckabee did confirm that the three unnamed officials and anyone who ever, ever had even the slightest contact with them left for Bahrain very early Monday morning.

“They will be extremely busy with the move,” she said, “and I don’t think they will be able to take questions for many years.”

She concluded the interview by admonishing the press for not reporting that Hilary Clinton and her family have a good deal of property overseas. “She is clearly a flight risk,” said Sarah, “and should have her passport revoked.”

“Why aren’t you talking about that?” she said.
