Sarah Sanders must go: After Mueller, White House press secretary is toast

Salon  

Donald Trump’s White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is an admitted liar. On May 10, 2017, Sanders said that Trump “had countless conversations with members from within the FBI” and learned that “the rank and file of the FBI had lost confidence in their director.” That same day she said that “most of America had decided on their own that Director Comey was not the person that should be leading the FBI, as evidenced by the numerous comments that we've seen from Democrat members in the House and Senate, Republican members, members of the FBI, and people across the board.” The next day, Sanders’ claims were refuted by then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, who testified under oath before the Senate Intelligence Committee that “I can confidently tell you that the majority, the vast majority of FBI employees enjoyed a deep and positive connection to Director Comey.” On the next day, May 11, at a White House press conference, Sanders repeated her lies when pressed about this discrepancy by Fox News correspondent John Roberts. “In the immediate aftermath of the firing, the President dictated a press statement suggesting that he had acted based on the recommendations, and White House press officials repeated that story,” Mueller wrote in his report. “But the President had decided to fire Comey before the White House solicited those recommendations.” Mueller's report says Sanders told investigators that her statements in defense of Comey’s firing were made “in the heat of the moment” and "not founded on anything."
