White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on Monday called special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia "a hoax and a waste of time."

"We’d all be a lot better off if ... Congress and the special counsel could come to the same conclusion that the rest of America has - that this is a hoax and a waste of time," Sanders said on "Fox and Friends."

Mueller's probe has led to indictments or guilty pleas for 32 people and three Russian companies.

Mueller has charged four former Trump campaign aides — Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Richard Gates and George Papadopoulos — though none of the charges are related to misconduct by the president's campaign.

1. But Hillary's emails are a perfectly good use of time.

[Scarsdale]

27. Plus the many

hearings on Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi. Poor Sarah is likely worried about getting a good paying gig like this one, if anything happens to Orange Anus Mouth. We all know Faux only hires skinny blondes.

[beachbum bob]

2. Repeat the same lies in hopes to make it the truth ain't working

[DetlefK]

3. 4 years of Benghazi. 2 years of emails.

[Soxfan58]

14. How many years of whitewater?

Hillary has been fighting bogus shit since the early 90s.

[EllieBC]

20. Agreed.

They had a decade (remember they kept it up a few years after the '00 election) to keeping trying to smear the Clintons.

And you know the messed up part? During the '16 primary some of that shit was brought up again but on our side too. They want to talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome? They've been under Clinton Derangement Syndrome since 1992.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Wish media would ask "Should Russia probe get as much time as Benghazi & emails probes?" . . . nt

[Botany]

5. Some Hoax

"Donald J. Trump was shown highly classified intelligence indicating that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia had personally ordered complex cyberattacks to sway the 2016 American election."

8. +1. In Helsinki:

REPORTER (Jeff Mason from Reuters): President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

PUTIN: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the US/Russia relationship back to normal.

[duforsure]

7. Catching people involved with possible treason against this country

From committing crimes , conspiring with an enemy country and notoriously corrupt, and brutal dictator who murders people , and after 35 indictments and proven conspiring with an enemy to fix an election shows she's as corrupt and criminal as they are. We already know she's a serial liar too. Just another putin puppet for trump and putin. That's all she is, and she'll ever be able to live that down, ever for what she's done, and is doing, lying for a corrupt criminal.

[global1]

9. I Thought She Was Supposed To Leave The WH.....

Halong with Kelly? What happened?

[forgotmylogin]

25. I guess she started bagging her lunch.

[Javaman]

10. after her momentary self reflection when she was clearly off her game...

it appears as if ol' smokey eyes is back!

LOL

[WePurrsevere]

11. "Waste of time"? 5 guilty pleas, 17 indictments, etc as of 5/17/18...

Umm.. No... I don't think so and I'm very sure there's more coming soon so buckle up Buttercup.

Pivotal moments in Mueller’s Trump investigation: 5 guilty pleas, 17 indictments and more

[SunSeeker]

31. It's up to 32 people indicted and 7 guilty pleas now.

[WePurrsevere]

37. Thank you! I did a quick search but missed the current count...

Waste of time? Pfft! Apparently Sarah thinks the Commandment about baring false witness doesn't apply to her.

[SunSeeker]

39. Evangelicals could not posibly believe what the Bible says, considering how frequently they sin. nt

[dembotoz]

12. Guess manafort is enjoying his vacation

[Achilleaze]

13. Those are boldface republican lies

She knows what she is doing at this point. She is willfully lying to the American people and the world. And most everyone - save the kgop kult - know that she is lying.

Disgusting.

[DownriverDem]

15. Repubs Goals

The repubs in DC only care about winning their elections in November. They are afraid of trump and his cult supporters. The evangelicals only care about ending legal abortions. They are so close to their goal too.

[Mad-in-Mo]

16. Because she can't form her own opinion, and

this is what 45 told her to say.

[forgotmylogin]

26. Technically it's not the Press Secretary's job to form an opinion.

She's supposed to report truthfully on WH meetings and events, or not comment. She shouldn't be expected to spin and twist and justify for the reporters.

If she would just answer what she could factually, and then say "I don't have an official statement to give on that currently" on the rest instead of twisting around trying to make him look good, she'd probably not be so despised.

Press Secretaries usually don't last long due to "shoot the messenger" mentality they face daily.

[Mad-in-Mo]

42. That would definitely be refreshing.

[flibbitygiblets]

17. I guess 25+ indictments, several guilty pleas are a WASTE of TIME?

All in a fraction of the time of the "Big Deal" Benghazi witch hunt that resulted in NO INDICTMENTS!!!???

[flibbitygiblets]

18. "Sarah Sanders is a hoax and a waste of time". There, fixed it!

I wonder if she got those googly eyes from being smacked for being so fucking stupid.

[ProfessorGAC]

24. Even A Step Further

"This administration is a hoax and waste of time." Now we've fixed it twice.

[olegramps]

19. I can only hope that the entire administration ends up in prison. They a sworn traitors.

'Bush and Cheney and that cabal was never held accountable for deliberately falsifying intelligence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and assured the citizens that is was a proven fact. When they couldn't get the nation's intelligence organizations to substantiate the claim, they created their own commission to lie to citizens. The result was a catastrophe which they were never beem held accountable for. That this situation is being allowed to exist can be partly attributable to our representatives not holding the Bush administration of criminals accountable. We even have one of the most important people, Bolton, who is directly responsible for over 5,000 soldiers death and ten of thousands of civilians and sad legacy of thousands of our soldiers seriously maimed for life, being provided a place of honor in the Trump cabal of criminals.

[PatSeg]

21. How does she keep lying like that?

She looks like a loved one is being held hostage.

[SunSeeker]

34. She learned from her daddy that it's ok to lie so long as you're a white evangelical.

[PatSeg]

35. Yeah

But Daddy looks very comfortable and at ease lying. He smiles that southern folksy smile as he spews out the crap. She looks absolutely miserable. She hates her job, yet she is still there. Mind boggling.

[SunSeeker]

36. That look she gives is part of her shtick of portraying the media as awful.

If she looked happy, it would conflict with that narrative.

[left-of-center2012]

22. When will she release her Chocolate Pecan Pie recipe?

https://upload.democraticunderground.com/10029884095

[SunSeeker]

32. She can't. It's a Costco trade secret. nt

[duforsure]

23. Then why

Did putin admit it on tv during the treason summit presser he was asked and said he did have his people involved in it from his instructions. Sarah's lying is almost as bad as trumps and the republican party's.

[Mr. Ected]

28. There's enough information accessible to the public to discount this whole "it's a hoax" lie

The problem is that less than half of Americans realize that there have been indictments and guilty pleas already entered in the case. As long as the media fails to do its job and INFORM the public of the gravity and extent of the investigation, these scumworms will continue to pretend that there's "nothing to see here".

Blame this one on the media.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Usual Hill bullshit - "none of the charges are related to misconduct by the president's campaign"

For example -

Who is George Papadopoulos?

Papadopoulos served as a foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign. He lied to federal investigators about his interactions with a professor with ties to the Kremlin, according to the statement of offense filed Monday. The professor told Papadopoulos that the Russians had "dirt" on then-candidate Hillary Clinton in the form of "thousands of emails."

Papadopoulos claimed that his interactions with the professor occurred before he joined the campaign.

But "in truth and in fact," the criminal statement says, Papadopoulos learned he would be an adviser to the campaign in early March, and he met the professor on or about March 14, 2016. The professor "only took interest" in Papadopoulos because of his role in the campaign, and the professor told Papadopoulos about the "thousands of emails" on or about April 26, 2016, when he had been on board with the Trump operation for more than a month.

Papadopolous pleaded guilty to the charge earlier this month, but it was kept secret until Monday, when charges were also unsealed against Manafort and Gates.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2017/10/30/paul-manafort-rick-gates-george-papadopoulos-what-we-know-now/812762001/

Because Papadopoulos "flipped", his charges were reduced in exchange for his cooperation, which WERE related to "misconduct" by someone involved in the campaign.

[SunSeeker]

30. They keep using that word "hoax" to describe an investigation that has netted 32 indictments.

And 7 guilty pleas.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Counsel_investigation_(2017%E2%80%93present)

[Vinca]

33. Come on, Mr. Mueller. Indict some Americans this week.

We know they're coming. The only question is whether it will Don Jr. and Jared or Don, Jared and Princess.

[DeminPennswoods]

38. She puts Baghdad Bob to shame

nt

[robbob]

40. I hope someone asks her about this at the next presser.

[Hekate]

41. Shame-shame Sarah, don't you know your lies make Baby Jesus cry? nt
