Comey threw a stick of dynamite - White House on firing

The deputy White House spokesperson used inflammatory language to describe why U.S. President Donald Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director.

James Comey has been invited to testify to a closed hearing of the U.S. Senate's Intelligence Committee on his request for additional resources to pursue the investigation into Russian meddling into American politics.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the Deputy White House Spokesman, used the word atrocity among others to describe James Comey's actions of last July, when he held a press conference on the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.

Earlier, Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it's time to move on from the calls for further investigation and a special prosecutor to look into the Russian meddling.

Now she's contradicting herself and what the President wants.
