White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders opened Thursday’s press briefing with an assertion that the DOJ Inspector General’s report about the FBI’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s emails confirmed President Donald Trump’s suspicions about former FBI Director James Comey — conveniently avoiding the less palatable parts of the report.

“The President was briefed on the Inspector General’s report earlier today, and it has reaffirmed the President’s suspicions about Comey’s conduct and the political bias among some of the members of the FBI,” she said.

  1. You lie for a traitor then you’re a traitor too…disgusting slime of a “person.” She’s on the same level as the Iraqi Information Minister at this point.

  2. I, for one, agree with our insect overlords that there should be no political bias in the national justice system.

  3. OK, Sarah. Now tell us the one about how Trump fired Comey because of the way Comey treated Hillary Clinton during the election. Go ahead. We’ll wait.

  4. “The President was briefed on the Inspector General’s report earlier today, and it has reaffirmed the President’s suspicions about Comey’s conduct and the political bias among some of the members of the FBI,” she said.

    Which is why he said of Comey: "I tell you what, what he did, he brought back his reputation. He brought it back. He’s got to hang tough. A lot of people want him to do the wrong thing. What he did was the right thing.” (Trump Oct. 31 2016)
