Chris Wallace flat out asked him (paraphrased but close to the gist) "were you hired to go to war with the Special Prosecutor?"
That deal has become a blatant fiasco of an "investigation" and now they are selectively leaking stuff to keep the media stirred up. Of course he him-hawed around that question a bit, but the rumors are that this guy punches in the mouth just like Trump. If all of this is true I approve!
I kind of gathered that today. Spicer came into that job with one leg missing because he got demoted during the campaign. The press that likes to control the narrative and content in the WH press room may be looking at somebody that likes to punch back.
Hired because of his bulldog attitude possibly?
