Sarah Sanders told Mueller team she misled the press about Comey's firing

FreeinChrist said:

The former assistant FBI director did NOT say the same as she. McCabe, who was the acting head of the FBI and assistant deputy head of the FBI disagreed with Sanders right off.

Or was Sanders lying to the Mueller investigators? She can go to jail for that.

How can she be lying to the Mueller investigators if she confirms on Hannity that she had a slip of the tongue (as she calls it) on the word countless you show in your own OP?

McCabe might have disagreed with Sanders right off and the former assistant FBI director is the one who testified more in agreement with her in respects to the rank and file FBI.

Didn't FBI report show McCabe himself lied 4 times and did so twice under oath?

Trump told Lester Holt it was because of "this Trump and Russia thing." He fired him because of the Russia investigation.

What did Comey mean here?

She lied. and made stuff up. Sad.​

What is sad IMHO is not listening to her reply to the comment that she simply misspoke. Instead of saying "a number of" she said countless. How do ytou know that she did not consider the number of FBI that came to her as countless - you know, where there is smoke there is fire?

Yelling liar liar is not appropriate in this instance.

The entirety of this (countless=zero?) tangent misses the point entirely...Comey was fired because the giant LEO would not “pledge fealty” to King Donald.

The whole “Clinton-email debacle” and “lost the confidence of countless (uncountable?) FBI rank-and-file agents, does not enter into it!

Please, do enjoy your gnat straining though!

FreeinChrist said:

again, there is side stepping of the issue.
See post #20. Her comment about the 'rank and file of the FBI' as having lost confidence in Comey was "not founded on anything."
Lying under oath is a crime. Either she lied to the Mueller team or not.

what charges were filed against her?

And that has what to do with the topic or in any way support your view?

Because you pointed out the Russian thing in the Lester Holt video but Trump continues on the Russian investigation at around 2:30 where Trump states 3 times what Comey had admitted to on the previous video when questioned (stating that he was NOT under investigation).

FreeinChrist said:

Sarah said he was fired because he lost the confidence of congress, the president and the "rank and file at the FBI".

Comey said he was not under investigation (as Trump also stated he did so on 3 separate occassions) why would it be hard to believe that the other videos which show Maxine Walters, and Pelosi and all the others on those videos (openly expressing their own lack of confidence in Comey) as lying then? Was the former assistant FBI director lying when he expressed his lack of confidence in Comey? How about the 15 other former and current agents he mentions?

FreeinChrist said:

When Sarah said he lost the confidence of the 'rank and file of the FBI", she said it based on nothing. Under oath, she said it was "not founded on anything."

She already confirmed what she said stated in the report on Hannity so I dont understand the problem you think I have. The rank and file FBI agents are mentioned by the former FBI director himself, so how it is completely untrue when both he and those in congress address their lack of confidence are on the record.

FreeinChrist said:

I didn't say charges were filed. You are missing the point in this thread totally.

My view is that she is truthful to the Mueller investigators. Her comment about the 'rank and file of the FBI' losing confidence in Comey was not based or founded on anything like she said to them.
So she made it up in the press conference where she claimed it.

This isn't rocket science. Using 'countless' was rather defensive but the lie she said in the press conference of May 10th, 2017 was the bit about the rank and file of the FBI.

You want to carry on about her defensive use of 'countless' in the May 11th press conference, you can, but you are missing the point.

I'm not missing the point of this thread, nor the one saying the President caused jets to crash, nor the one that said Bernie is for opening concentration camps, nor the hundreds and hundreds of thread complaining about everything from Stormy Daniels - to ice cream scoops - to what shoes the First lady wears - to his mental capacity - to the ever present cries of racist. Not of which ever bore fruit.

You did not open those, but the over reaction to every stinkin thing anyone says about or in relationship to the President is past redundant.

You are quite right, this isn't rocket science - it's a desperate hope to to take down a sitting President by any means possible.

The left has been crying collusion for two years and there is no collusion. About 18 months ago they started crying obstruction, but there is no obstruction either. So either the "wolf" has to change to a different cry, or people have to admit they are wrong - and the left (not you personally) simply cannot do that.

A press secretary, misleading the press?

What a shock! Last i checked, this is standard operating procedure for press secretaries.

FreeinChrist said:

So just ad homs in attack and no dealing with what she said about the rank and file was not based on anything at all.

Not surprising.

Explaining my posts are not ad homs - they are information so the reader can understand my posts and the reasoning behind them.

As for the comments - so what? It's a misspeak - wow, a public official whose every word is scrutinized is caught misspeaking.

Let's be clear, just because there is no basis for a claim, doesn't mean it's a lie. This is how the Law of Alternate Facts works...

As an example: if I were to say that Donald Trump is not technically a man, but 6 miniature poodles stacked inside an oversized suit, wearing an animatronic pumpkin mask, and a pompadover wig, I have no basis for this claim, but that doesn't mean it's a lie.

The Law of Alternate Facts means that, even though this claim seems absolutely ridiculous on it's face, it must be a fact in some alternate reality, and thus, is true.

Just for those of you who are confused.

No, it was an attempt to attack, hislegacy. And her comment about the rank and file was not a simple misspeak.

Well FreeinChrist, that is where we differ in opinion.

He is Risen! have a great Resurrection Day.
