Sander's credibility is now worthless. Actually, pretty much always was worthless. Time for her to go. Sanders Admitted She Lied to Media About Comey FiringWhite House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted she lied to the media about President Donald Trump’s highly controversial decision to fire FBI Director James Comey in 2017, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. "Sanders told this Office [of the special counsel] that her reference to hearing from ‘countless members of the FBI’ was a ‘slip of the tongue,’” investigators wrote in the document, which was released with significant redactions by Attorney General William Barr on Thursday. “She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made ‘in the heat of the moment’ that was not founded on anything,” it continued.

Most of us knew this already.
Nice to have her admit it on the record, though.
Wonder how that fits into her conservative Christian upbringing. Maybe there is such a thing as 'lying for Jesus.'

And it only took what? Approximately one year, 49 weeks and a report from the special counsel to admit that she lied through her teeth (slip of the tongue --- my (substantial) ass)! How much more upstanding and truthful can you get? Hint SHS: A LOT!!!

The good news about it being on record is that history will be able to prove her in particular as a liar, and be part of the rich tapestry of evidence that this administration is problematic.
I doubt this will change anyone's opinion of this administration. No one read this today and said "Oh nuts, I thought she was a good one, but clearly she isn't. "

I wish they could ask her about most of her Trump spin while she's under oath and could go to jail for lying. And I want to see the clip of how she answers questions about her "slip of the tongue".

" I expect there will be a couple hundred books written in the future by people like Sanders who will attempt to justify what they did as being 'good for the country' and a couple hundred more written by people documenting all the lies and deceptions the Trump toadies did which led us into a constitutional crisis by doing what they thought was 'good for the country.'

Satire from The Borowitz Report Sarah Huckabee Sanders Accuses Media of Anti-Liar BiasBy Andy Borowitz WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Reacting to the journalist April Ryan’s call for her to be fired, the White House press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, said, on Friday, that she has been the victim of the media’s “widespread anti-liar bias.” “From their obsession with fact-checking to their relentless attacks on falsehoods, the media have made no secret of their bias,” Sanders said. “It’s open season on liars in America.” Kellyanne Conway, the White House senior counsellor, spoke out in support of Sanders, telling reporters, “An attack on one liar is an attack on all liars.” “Our country has seen some dark days, from the Bowling Green Massacre to the bugging of the White House microwave,” she said. “But this might be the darkest.” Complete article here: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Accuses Media of Anti-Liar Bias

Chris MacNeil didn't know where the voices from her daughter Regan's mouth were coming from either. But Fathers Merrin and Karras did. Maybe it's time the Sanders and the Huckabees contact an exorcist.

She is a fairly young woman, who has demonstrated that she will lie at the drop of a hat. I wonder what this will do to her future employment opportunities? I’m sure that reference from Trump will carry weight.

I’m sure that reference from Trump will carry weight. I'm actually wondering how it will go for her. I'm sure there are a lot of people that would pay for her willingness to shamelessly lie for them. On the other hand she has no credibility and everyone would assume whoever she represents is lying about whatever. I can see it going either way.

Won't she just take over her Dad's series of whack-a-doodle shows? There will always be an audience who will happily listen to someone pander to them.
(I know that, because I love shows where they pander to me!!)

Consequences are coming. She has no credibility and thus no real future as a spokesperson. She apparently has no other real talents, so it's going to be "Work for Daddy" after this. He might be able to get her on something at FOX, but she doesn't seem bright enough to succeed even there.

And this morning Daddy is dissing Mitt for criticizing DT & the administration...their dishonesty.
Seems to me that Huck should clean up his own house before worrying about anyone else's house.
Didn't get a link, will look later.

Sarah was on CBS making things worse for herself by refusing to admit she lied.
The person who is constantly berating the media for 'fake news' could only bring herself to admit that she was talking 'on the spur of the moment,' not using talking points, and she was not a 'robot' like the dems.
Pathetic.

I don't think she'd get on with Fox, she doesn't fit the slim blonde female type that Fox seems to almost exclusively hire.
I think she'll actually not have a problem getting hired by a corporation who wants an aggressive spin doctor heading their publicity - someone like a gun manufacturer or a cigarette company with problematic product to pedal. Maybe not the public face, but I could see her as the department head writing their public messages.

Sander's "slip of the tongue" was not just a one-and-done. Sanders made the same claim twice more the following day.

It is easy to tell when Sarah lies. She has a tell. Watch her eyebrows during her press conferences. She can make those eyebrows do some serious acrobatics when she is lying. Her eyebrows are straight across when she is speaking in a truthful manner. Funny stuff!

I have noticed that the bigger the lie, the more aggressive and mean she seems to get.
I'd be made too if my boss expected me to lie for him.

Well, we know what kind of children Mike Huckabee raised. As we reported in 2007, while Mike was serving as governor of Arkansas, his elder son David and another miscreant were fired from their jobs as Boy Scout camp counselors after they tortured and killed a dog. According to a report on the 1998 incident, the young men “admitted to catching a stray dog during their summer session at Camp Pioneer in Hatfield, AR, and hanging the dog by his neck, slitting his throat and stoning him to death.” www.pensitoreview.com/2015/01/16/huckabee-whose-son-tortured-and-killed-a-dog-criticizes-the-obamas-parenting-skills/
