Commas, Periods. Use them every so often.
A briefing is not supposed to be one run-on sentence.

Wiki - Belief is the state of mind in which a person thinks something to be the case, with or without there being empirical evidence to prove that something is the case with factual certainty.

Sean is not very well informed about issues. He dodges, weaves and evades and in the process sounds like he understands very little about the issues himself. He uses a lot of fill and blather. It reminds me of trying to BS your teacher on an essay test when you never cracked the book and barely listened in class.

He better catch up on these issues FAST because the journalists asking those questions often know plenty about the topic they are asking about. His ignorance and willful deception will be revealed on live TV. I hope I am watching when that happens...ooopppsss.......it probably DID just happen.
