When Spicer worked at the RNC, he was said to have filled black books emblazoned with the party's seal. Spicer was so well-known for his copious notes that underlings joked about him writing a tell-all.
One source familiar with the matter said that the records were just to help him do his job.
"Sean documented everything," the source said.
That surprised some officials of previous White Houses, who said that because of past investigations, they intentionally took as few notes as possible when they worked in the West Wing.
When we texted Spicer for comment on his note-taking practices, he replied: "Mike, please stop texting/emailing me unsolicited anymore."
When I replied with a "?" (I have known Spicer and his wife for more than a dozen years), he answered: "Not sure what that means. From a legal standpoint I want to be clear: Do not email or text me again. Should you do again I will report to the appropriate authorities."
Well that's an awfully defensive response.
Kind of makes one think that Spicer has already been legally required to hand those notebooks over, and is not allowed to discuss it.
Yes in case you are wondering Spicer is indeed one of the people identified as on Mueller's list of folks he wants to interview.
One White House official said that people are going to wish they had been much nicer to Sean Spicer because he was at a whole lot of meetings.
Methinks that Donald Trump might be one of those who will regret how he treated Spicer.
