White House deputy press secretary Sarah Sanders on Wednesday said that President Donald Trump has considered pushing out former FBI Director James Comey, who was abruptly fired Tuesday night, since the day Trump won the 2016 election.
“He’d lost confidence in Director Comey, and frankly, he’d been considering letting Director Comey go since the day he was elected,” Sanders said at the daily White House briefing. “The President had lost confidence in Comey from the day he was elected.”
NBC News reporter Hallie Jackson pointed out that White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Tuesday signaled Trump’s support for Comey, hours before the former director’s surprise termination.
“On May 3rd, Sean came out and said the President has full confidence in his FBI director,” she said. “Why did he say that?”
Sanders said Trump spoke to members of the FBI and “questioned Director Comey’s reason for needing to stay” at the bureau, which is investigating possible ties between members of Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.
Sarah the Huckster is spinning hard, but the press isn’t buying the BS.
She’s very annoying. To put it mildly.
At least we can attribute SpiceBunny’s antics to a low IQ.
Sarah Huckster is just evil… Gets it from her kinfolk, I guess…
I can just picture Rod Rosenstein comparing notes with Devin Nunes as the orange bus runs them both over…
Cough, cough > Bullshit < Cough, cough.
Did poor Spicy have a breakdown last night and call in sick?
And since when has it been acceptable to trash talk people you’ve terminated? In the business world, with which Trump is supposedly familiar, employers are never supposed to comment negatively on personnel matters. You may cite the fact that a termination happened and then wish them well in their future endeavors, but that’s about all you’re supposed to say. Fuck Trump and his freaking minions.
