Sarah Sanders admits she lied about FBI trust in Comey - and other false statements revealed in Mueller report

Sarah Sanders admits she lied about FBI trust in Comey - and other false statements revealed in Mueller report
The Mueller report on Thursday revealed several instances when aides to President Donald Trump, while under oath, acknowledged that statements they once stood by were based on something other than facts or truth.

Take, for instance, the afternoon of May 10, 2017 when White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters that former FBI Director James Comey had been fired because he’d lost the confidence of President Trump, the Department of Justice and members of both parties in Congress. And, for good measure: “Most importantly, the rank and file of the FBI had lost confidence in Comey.”

Sanders went on to say that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had decided “on his own” to examine Comey’s performance and then expressed his concerns to Trump about them on May 8.

A reporter challenged Sanders, saying Comey, in fact, had enjoyed support from the vast majority of FBI agents. “Look,” Sanders chided the reporter, “we’ve heard from countless members of the FBI that say very different things."

But it was Sanders who said very different things when questioned by Mueller’s investigators about her comment.

“Sanders told this Office that her reference to hearing from ‘countless members of the FBI’ was a ‘slip of the tongue,’” according to the report. “She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made 'in the heat of the moment' that was not founded on anything.”

The same incident found former White House spokesman Sean Spicer spreading misinformation about Comey's firing. The report determined that the decision to fire Comey had originated with Trump, who later pressed Rosenstein to own the decision.

Sounds like the opinion of the Clinton packed Mueller team.

Seems Mueller did not agree with them.

The letter of dismissal to Comey did state the Attorney General and President no longer had confidence in the FBI director. That’s all that was required.

The hoax had to end sometime and now has exploded in the face of the dishonest media who cooked up stories from false leaks within the Mueller team.

The adopted hero of the Left, Mueller did not deliver what the Left convinced themselves was true. And the media outlets which peddled the false narratives are more to blame for wasting the time of the American people for over two years.

Two years and the Left failed to overturn a legally and Constitutionally elected President of the United States.

Such shame. For all the power money of the Left leaning media, they could not manufacture enough false evidence to nail a former reality TV personality and real estate developer with zero political experience and no DC insider support from his own party. The coup was a complete failure even with all the cannons taking point blank aim.

So sad and pathetic.

Is this what this whole Mueller thing has deteriorated to? "There's no collusion but boy is there a lot of things we can draw our own conclusions from".

The horse has been decapitated. Blowing air into its mouth isn't going to revive it.
Let’s be charitable. If I was working a huge project for two years based on manufactured evidence and assured it would work as long as everyone stays the course and then found out in complete failure? I’d try to grasp at straws too. It’s the natural reaction of humans when complete failure faces them. In this case it is the media who carried the poisoned water.

The question is did they know they were carrying poisoned water or did they do it willfully? I think we all know the answer.

The media did something Trump could not do for himself. Convince the world he was actually telling the truth all along.

Sarah Sanders represents the moral dilemma that is staring every conservative Christian who supports Trump in the face - how much longer are they willing to ignore his behaviour(s) and make excuses for this President's total lack of any moral compass, before they eventually evolve to becoming just like him?

Sanders was supposedly a good Christian, yet she was prepared to repeatedly lie on national television concerning Director Comey's lack of support among FBI agents - to satisfy an audience of one!

History will not be kind to this President, and it will be particularly critical of those who consider themselves to be conservative Christians, who willingly served as his "enablers!"

Ah, the Mueller report was a complete disaster for Democrats and we are back to immoral Trump should not be President. Yet expect Christians to support a pro abortion candidate who calls chopping up human beings in the womb “women’s health.”

But hey we can play this blame game all night long.

I read the article. Where does she admit to lying?

And how are we finding out about this? From Trump not invoking executive privilege and providing something rare in DC....transparency.

Where in the Bible does it teach that the ends justify the means - somehow I can't imagine Christ encouraging his followers to place their trust in "The Donald!"

As for Roe v Wade, even if it was repealed tomorrow, young women in America will never accept that elderly, wealthy, conservative white males in Washington have any understanding of their personal dilemmas or gain control over their bodies!

Conservatives had better be repaired to build a lot more prisons to incarcerate millions of young women if they expect to enforce laws making abortion a criminal offense!

So we should...what? Exactly, I mean. Tell me what I should do in this case that I might live up to your standards.

"slip of the tongue."
"in the heat of the moment"

Given that this press secretary repeated the same assertion on 2 separate occasions casting doubt on Director Comey's fitness to hold office, her admission to the Mueller Investigation that it "was not founded on anything" doesn't inspire confidence in her or the Trump Administration!

When Comey testified and said Trump's claims the the FBI was in chaos was a lie, I didn't need to hear that to know it was a lie. I needed someone to call it what it was, a lie. I remember Sarah Sanders claiming countless FBI agents said as much, I didn't need anyone to tell me it was a lie. What I needed was for it to be exposed as a lie. What's more the conspiracy and obstruction issues are far from settled.

Don’t know. But I know exactly where I can find “You shall not murder.”
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17 NKJV)
1 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 “You shall not murder.
7 “You shall not commit adultery.
8 “You shall not steal.
9 “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 “You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.”
***************************************************
The 10 Commandments also states that "Thou shalt not bear false witness" but since when has that dissuaded conservative Christians from putting their faith in a President who averages 22 "Pinocchios" a day and will soon eclipse the 10 000 mark since taking office?

Then there is "The Donald's" repeated use of foul language (3),
his love of money (1, 10),
boasting that he is always being the best (9),
his repeated affairs that have include inappropriate content stars and Playboy "centerfolds" (7, 10)
his obsession for withholding his income tax returns and his former lawyer's testimony that he lied on his loan applications (8, 9. 10)

When conservative Christians, like Sarah Sanders, start down that "slippery slope" where the ends justify the means, they invariably find themselves forced to "cherry pick" as to which commandments to emphasize and those they'd rather ignore when promoting their political agendas!

You know for some reason I'm not seeing any mention whatsoever of any past Presidential secretaries that lied, too embarrassing maybe? :doh:
What are you saying, that Presidential press secretaries have lied to the press? How shocking! They are usually a little better at getting by with it though.

Who issues those "Pinocchio" standards? Yes the "infallible" magisterium of the New York Times. The very source of disinformation over the past two years.

I think if there was any chaos it happened before the election when the FBI was faced with actual violations of US Code statutes reference the Clinton email server. The chaos or disorder for sure resulted in Attorney General Loretta Lynch informing Comey that they would not prosecute and call it a "matter." If that was the context, then sure I can see there was some law and order turmoil.
