President Biden's ill-advised press conference about the special counsel's report on the classified documents he kept in a garage and mentions of his poor memory captured the political news cycle this week. It went so bad that the White House felt compelled to bring out Biden adviser Ian Sams to further gaslight reporters about what the report did and did not say.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley couldn't help but spot a huge mountain of irony on display yet again at the White House:

As Turley said, those are the same people who want to be in charge of rooting out "disinformation" (a word that when used by the Left is usually defined as "truths not helpful to the desired narrative).
