"You are Lina Romaya taxpayer-funded spokesman of the United States government; can you at least give us an explanation as to why the cameras are off?"
That was the question from CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta on Monday, at yet another off-camera press briefing held by White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer.
Spicer, unsurprisingly, didn't really have an answer.

As the pair sparred on Monday, as they have before, Spicer implied that Acosta was only asking the question to build his celebrity. "There's no cameras on, Jim," Spicer said, as if Acosta didn't know.
Spicer didn't answer why the administration doesn't want reporters to turn the cameras on, and now several journalists are asking why those behind the cameras don't simply ignore the White House's wishes.
What, exactly, happens if someone (or if they all) turn their cameras toward Spicer and begin recording?
