White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Tuesday that it was "time to move on" from the investigations into ties between Trump campaign officials and Russia, hours after the president fired FBI Director James Comey.

"I think the bigger point on that is, my gosh Tucker, when are they going to let that go? It's been going on for nearly a year," she said on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show. "Frankly, it's kind of getting absurd. There's nothing there. We’ve heard that time and time again. We’ve heard that in the testimonies earlier this week. We've heard it for the last 11 months. There is no ‘there’ there.

"It's time to move on and frankly it's time to focus on the things the American people care about," she added.

Sanders, though, said she also believed Comey's firing would not impact the ongoing investigations.

1. Do they have amateurs making up their talking points?

"Time to move on" is beyond lame.

[christx30]

21. How many times did they go after Hillary Clinton

for Benghazi? And there were 100's of efforts to find wrongdoing in that case, for absolutely nothing. Clinton wasn't held responsible because there was nothing there. Trump is thinking that if he just fires anyone that looks into it, it'll go away.
But, yeah, time to move on. He's such an ass and a hypocrite.

[Scarsdale]

36. Hillary

even sat answering questions for 11 hours, in front of the fools such as Gowdy and other gop clowns. tRump has not answered any Russian questions directly. This Sanders spokesperson is the daughter of Huckabee, the failed gop contender for the WH. Lard ass passed those genes to his kids, obviously. How many members of the gop have relatives employed by this administration? Several, including McConnelll's wife, McCain's wife is under consideration for a high position, too. The top of the heap is related to tRump, Ivanka, Kushner. Not an ounce of political experience between them. Biggest joke of all is Agent Orange whining "This job is harder than I thought it would be"

2. What a patriot!

Patriot as emetic. What!

[Norbert9]

3. Let's move on to President Mad Dog Mattis, though Shulkin would be ideal.

10. At this point...I'd accept the first waiter to speak up in the Congressional Dining Room.

[Kablooie]

4. WTF?! Who the hell are these zombie people?

[CurtEastPoint]

5. Isn't she Huckabee's spawn?

[dalton99a]

23. Yes. Trump gave her the job because Huckabee endorsed him

[Scarsdale]

37. Well, she

could not get a job at Faux, too chubby and not blonde.

[retrowire]

6. then uhhh.... prove it?

It's not that hard.

Tax returns would help.

[byronius]

7. To be fair, she hasn't read anything about it in her paper of record, Breitbart.

Thank god for their incompetence. Any one of us could have done a much better job.

But we wouldn't. And that's the point. Incompetents only succeed through illegal and unethical means. They got nothing else.

[Still In Wisconsin]

8. Whenever I read something like this, I am once again forced to remind myself that yes,

this is actually real. Trump and this bunch of cartoon caricatures are actually running the country.

[cstanleytech]

25. Makes me want to pinch myself to wake up from what I'm

sure is an episode of the Simpsons.

[GeorgeGist]

9. Once again, the Trumpers demonstrate ...

that you can't fake competency.

[dhill926]

11. nice try, you traitorous piece of shit....

[BeyondGeography]

12. Benghazzzzzz

Ah, forget it.

[Brother Buzz]

42. Nobody cares about Ben Gazzara's hacked email account anymore

[elmac]

13. Oh Sarah, don't hold your breath

[Best_man23]

14. 'Time to Move On"

Boy, doesn't that sound familiar to "now we must move on from Watergate, to the business of the people"

That quote from Tricky Dick himself is about a minute into this video.

[WoonTars]

41. I was just thinking the same thing....

...they can't even come up with original bullshit...

[Cadfael]

15. Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!

(Doing my best Arnold Horshack imitation) ::raising hand::

I'm an American people and I care about this!

So please focus on this!!!

[SunSeeker]

16. Oh please, Sarah. The investigation is just getting started.

The Senate hasn't even issued a single subpoena yet. Of course we haven't "seen" anything yet!

[.99center]

17. Comey's firing has nothing to do with the Russian probe

But now that hes gone, its time to move on and investigate the whistle blowers.

[C_U_L8R]

18. Oh fuck no.

The American people want none of your lies and self-serving nonsense.

[Skittles]

19. fuck you Sarah

Trump pimp

[flotsam]

20. A year my aching ASS!

The msm only started really covering this in the last month. For those old enough picture Ron Ziegler trying this the Monday after the Saturday night massacre..."Come on it's been almost a full news cycle since the firing. The American people are ready to move on."...

[tclambert]

22. Next up, Trump tries to find out how to fire Grand Juries.

"You want to issue an indictment of ME? You're fired!"

[miyazaki]

24. Gee that did'nt take long. So effin' typical.

If Trump isn't out sometime in this term I will have lost all faith in this country.

[StevieM]

26. Didn't Nixon call for an end to the Watergate investigation in the 1974 State of the Union? (eom)

[riversedge]

27. OMG. The WH actually said this!!! COVER-UP IN PROGRESS.

[still_one]

28. go to hell sarah sanders

[riversedge]

29. Dear ms. Sanders--The TrumpRussia collusion probes have barely begun. Stay tuned

[Scarsdale]

38. Did she

drop the Huckabee in her name? Originally, she was Sarah HUCKERBEE Sanders. Did daddy tell her to stop using his name, in case he is investigated? These family values repubs. are so predicable, aren't they? They would support Satan himself as long as he had an R behind his name.

[Historic NY]

30. They haven't even begun, there is a grand jury empaneled & subpoenas have been issued.

The WH is scared.

[enid602]

31. 'There is no there there.'

Nothing, that is unless you consider 10 dead Russians mentioned in the dossier, 2 Grand Juries, 2 subpoenas (so far) to the Financial Crimes Unit of the Department of the Treasury no less, and (if you believe the twitterverse,) 9 indictments with another 16 coming soon. It would appear that 3 1/2 months in tRumpworld is equivalent to 4 years in Nixon years.

[anglesphere]

32. They think governing is a fucking poker game..

...you're supposed to bluff your way through. Sick.

[2naSalit]

33. Classic doublespeak!

How brazen!

[Skittles]

34. no, time to move UP

as in UP THE FUCKING LADDER

[Corgigal]

35. Yo, The Hill

Stop talking to these idiots. You're paying their salaries while they lie like a rug. Just find fact based humans. Let RT talk these tools up on the daily BS TV shows.

Americans have had enough of this media printing crap, and you assisted with a soviet asset bring installed in our White House. Take back out press, and report news. Not opinions from paid think tanks. Ignore them all.

[Blue_Tires]

39. Now that special prosecutors currently serve at the pleasure of Jeff Sessions

The Trump Cabal will do everything in their power to make this investigation disappear, or re-focus it on Hillary...

[jpak]

40. Fuck that traitorous shit

yup

[lark]

43. Duh, everyone and their dog knows that Comey was fired for getting close to the truth.

Drumpf knows he'd lose the presidency, at the very least, when the truth comes out and probably a whole lot more than that. So, nothing at all to see here, stop this investigation so the 4th Reich can proceed without any further deviation.
