White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders falsely accused James Comey of lying, leaking, and bringing corruption to the FBI as the Trump White House is making things up.
Sanders said, “I think the last person that we’re going any lecture from about the values of this country is from a self-admitted liar and leaker that we know James Comey to be. There’s no doubt that he did a tremendous number of things wrong and brought outrageous corruption to the FBI. He led it with a political bias that is unheard of at an agency like that, and so he’ll be the last person that we’ll take any lecture from.”

Sarah Sanders Can’t Defend Trump, So She Lied About James Comey
James Comey made a public plea for the nation to put partisan politics aside, and stand up to the un-American behavior of Trump. Sarah Sanders could defend Trump or his behavior, so she smeared Comey with a pile of lies. James Comey is a Republican who is being a Republican White House for being a partisan.
There is no evidence of Comey causing corruption at the FBI. None. There is a mountain of evidence that Trump corrupted the 2016 election and has corrupted the presidency.
Sanders deployed the same tactic that Kellyanne Conway used during her CNN interview last week. The White House can’t defend Trump, so they are launching baseless character attacks against anyone who speaks out and questions them.
The Trump administration is crumbling, and Sarah Sanders is trying to plug the holes with a paste of lies.
