Karoline Leavitt to Fox before the WHCD event: There will be some shots fired tonight

(with the 'correspondent's dinner', as a routinely 'spicy', affair giving all the context necessary to even the most rudimentary .. )
And, of course - because if there was some kind of false flag or prescience involved - the press secretary is of course going to 'spill' in advance ...
