Trump Toady: Sarah Huckabee Sanders (2017)
Among the tales that Sanders — then the deputy press secretary — spun was the myth that Comey didn’t have the trust and faith of the FBI rank and file. When a reporter said that FBI officials actually supported the fired director, Sanders said in a May 10, 2017, briefing, “Look, we’ve heard from countless members of the FBI that say very different things.”

According to the Mueller report, Sanders was lying about this plume of FBI sentiment: The “countless” comment, said the report, was a “slip of the tongue,” as Sanders told investigators. “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,” reads the report.
