(CNN) Accusations of lying whizzed across Washington Thursday as fired FBI Director James Comey concluded his bombshell session on Capitol Hill.

Comey himself suggested during his three-hour sworn testimony that President Donald Trump had a shaky commitment to telling the truth. The White House decried the accusation.

Meanwhile, Trump's outside lawyer insisted that it was Comey who lied when he detailed conversations between himself and the President, raising the suggestion that Comey committed perjury while testifying under oath.

Snip

"I can definitely say the President is not a liar, and I think it's, frankly, insulting that question would be asked," spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters during an off-camera briefing at the White House.

Trump started his time in office by lying before God with his hand on the Bible.

He swore to uphold the Constitution and immediately broke that oath.

15. Well that settles it.

[DFW]

16. Of all the statements to make

"The President is not a liar" is about the least truthful statement that has come from any Trump spokesperson, and there been some classic whoppers to compete with that.

[mahannah]

17. Yes he is. No he's not. Yes he is. No he's not. Yes he is.

[neeksgeek]

18. You keep telling yourselves that.

But he's a liar.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. Republican Pres Trump is not christian either. Presbytarians don't have to ask if they're christian.

Republican President Trump is an unrepentant habitual liar.

23. If that's the best they can do

is say Comey is lying they ain't got much do they. Twitler's own lawyers stated they never met with him alone due to his loose relationship with the truth. Sadly, I don't know that the repubs will care.

[0rganism]

24. i think they're lying again

they'll lie about anything. they lie about petty small stuff every day that i'm honestly surprised they have time even to think about. why wouldn't they lie about the important stuff? it's what they do.

[C_U_L8R]

Oh right, Trump was lying about the tapes, wasn't he?

28. Trump never tells the truth, what is sad is that half of this country still doesnt know that

[politicat]

29. Fine. He's a confabulator, a bullshit artist, a scammer, a conman, an unreliable narrator.

Whatever word needs to be verboten, Sarah, we've got synonyms. We'll take your poor, fragile feelings under consideration.

[Kleveland]

32. Can I say: "Are you fucking kidding me?"

Get a life you stupid woman!

I don't know how a human being in 2017 could even say that with a straight face!

So, I guess that makes her a cow!

She's a Huckabee, so I guess we can't expect much in the brain cell department.

She is about as sharp as a bag of wet leather!

[greatauntoftriplets]

Donald Trump — whom we crowned the “King of Whoppers” when he was a long-shot candidate in 2015 — has held true to form during his first 100 days as president of the United States.

In his first hour as president, he painted a dark portrait of a crime-ridden America with a dismal economy. The next day he falsely denied that he had been feuding with the intelligence agencies, which days earlier he had compared to Nazi Germany’s.

He grandly boasted that his inaugural crowd was larger than Obama’s, and said his Electoral College majority was larger than those of any president since Ronald Reagan. Neither claim was close to the truth.

He doubled down on his baseless claim that massive voter fraud gave Hillary Clinton her popular vote plurality last year. Then he made a new and equally groundless claim that President Barack Obama had ordered his phones tapped during the campaign — and called for Congress to investigate, even though he could produce no evidence. He has claimed credit for jobs created (or saved) before he took office, and for getting China to stop currency manipulation that actually stopped years earlier.

And he has adamantly refused to admit error, sometimes piling new falsehoods upon old. When photos showed his inaugural crowd, though respectable, was far smaller than the one for Obama’s 2009 swearing-in, his press secretary recited bogus statistics on subway ridership as evidence that Trump was right. And when those statistics were quickly shown to be incorrect, another aide blithely dubbed the falsehoods as merely “alternative facts” — a phrase that has now entered the language as a euphemism for blatant and unrepentant falsehoods

[dawn frenzy adams]

37. Okay, he's not a liar.

He's a big, fat, stinking, liar.

[WhiteTara]

38. Trump countered with a lie.

This can't go on! The center can not hold.

[Stuart G]

39. the word Trump defines the word "liar" as Nixon defined the word "crook"

[tclambert]

40. He's not a liar? So they're saying he's so stupid he actually believes all that bullshit he says.

[Historic NY]

41. His tiny little fingers lie, at 140 characters a session.

[Zorro]

42. They are quite brazen with their lying

They're doing incredible damage to the Office of the Presidency and our democratic institutions with their incessant dishonesty.

Traitorous Quislings one and all.

[onetexan]

43. Reminds me of Nixon's I AM NOT A CROOK

CROOKS & LIARS - 2 sides of the same coin

[DeminPennswoods]

50. Yep

I know cameras/recorders will catch that moment when Trump blurts out "I am not a liar" and/or "I am not a crook".

[truthisfreedom]

44. Why are you slapping yourself? Why are you slapping yourself?

slap slap slap slap slap

[BHDem53]

45. Lie, lie you know he does lie

His nose is as long as that ugly red tie.

47. Yeah, yeah.. like the "white house" is going

to own up to trump being a gd LIAR. lol

[Dave Starsky]

48. Tapes or tax returns would shut this down immediately.

They would not only vindicate him but fully humiliate all the librul naysayers as the blatant liars he claims THEM to be.

Yet he produces neither. Go figure.

[delisen]

51. Today's cry:Pres not a Liar. Tomorrow's cry:Pres is not a crook.

Shades of Watergate.

[samnsara]

52. thats will go down in history with I Am Not a Crook and I am Not a Witch

[Bucky]

53. Still soft balling it - "had a shaky commitment to telling the truth"

No, Trump doesn't have "a shaky commitment to telling the truth." He is an amoral sociopath who blatantly lies in order to distract the public from him looting the national Treasury and working for a foreign power opposed to US national interests

[doc03]

54. Now that is funny. nt

[Nitram]

55. That's a powerful argument, "The president is not a liar."

Yes he is! No he isn't! Is! Isn't! Is!

[rock]

56. Great retort (sarcasm)

Got any notes, witnesses, and will you say so under oath. Comey did.

[Greensix1]

57. FBI notes are called evidence

The Courts have declared that the notes of an FBI employee are considered valid evidence. Trump's rants are not. A jury would find Comey's notes as evidence of Obstruction of Justice by Trump. If Trump Does have a video to prove his point he'd better come up with it soon.
