President Trump's top spokesperson said Tuesday that federal prosecutors should consider bringing a case against former FBI Director James Comey.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said at a press briefing Tuesday that it's up to the Justice Department to prosecute Comey, but the move "should be looked at."

"I think if there was ever a moment where we feel that someone has broken law, particularly if they are the head of the FBI, I think that's certainly something that should be looked at," Sanders said.

It is unusual for the White House to advise the Justice Department on what cases to examine.
Sanders said that she's "not here to ever direct DOJ into actions."

Earlier this year, Comey testified before Congress that he arranged for his personal memos about his conversations with Trump to be shared with news outlets to ensure that a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election campaign.

1. "where we feel that someone has broken law"??

That's part of a direct quote from Sanders, not a mistake by The Hill.

2. If that is not obstruction of justice!?

What is it??

In effect, they are saying: "You can't independently investigate me because I will independently investigate you. The Congress and the Judiciary's power does not over-ride my own."

As if there were similar meetings with Congress and the Russians as there were with Trump or Trump associates? Totally illogical.

5. + 1

First she says that it's up to the Justice Department to prosecute Comey, but said
"the move should be looked at."

And in the next breath she said that she's "not here to ever direct DOJ into actions."

She just contradicted herself!
