The gubment is chickensh** because they lied and lied and lied and got tired of being challenegd and called out on it. They could have decided to do the proper appropriate intelligent adult thing and have Press Briefings daily and answer TRUTHFULLY. But they ran away with their tails between their legs because no one there dared face valid questions. They Faux News Sean Hannity everything because there are no hardball questions. They probably are told the questions to ask in advance and never stray from the rigid demand. The trump et al have single handedly shown us how afraid they are of being asked questions and having it be televised so that millions of people can watch the lies and dancing and spinning and insulting. The current gubment of the trump can't handle them. So they don't. Give up when you aren't up to the challenge. That's what cowards do. Losers too.
