Sucks to be you, Donnie.
Now itās just the word of a respected lawman against a cheesy grifterā¦
Well, wouldnāt it be so very funny if Mr. Comey had taped their conversations ā¦ but just waited until the WH had to admit Donnie insinuated a lie then produce them.
So the Game Show Goon was lying?
Like everyone else, Iām shocked!
Good Zeus!!! Well, Iām astounded, nonplussed, taken off-guards. This came straight out of left field. I need a snort of ammonia, pronto.
So there are only two possible answers here as I see it.
-
Trump was lying for distraction purposes when he intimated that tapes of the Comey meeting in the Oval Office might exist. Since he let that possibility dangle for weeks when he could have easily proven or disproven it, this is the most likely explanation.
-
Or he is lying now by saying that there are no tapes at all.
Either way he is demonstrating again that nothing he says can ever be taken as reliable.
Amusing how he leaks this the same time as the health care roll out.
Diversion is something part of his DNA.
More distractions from health care, but this will come back to haunt Trump when Mueller is ready to drop the next shoe.
Everyone knew there were no damn tapes. And everyone knew he would, with the help of Iām guessing Kellyanne for this one, make the kind of mealy-mouthed, sniveling, dignity-foreclosing lameass excuse thatās really just a machine-gun burst of hostility at the rest of the world. Fucking pig.
Ha, ha. Comey leaked that there were memos because Trump Tweeted there was tapes. The memos lead to Meuller being hired. Trump just screwed himself.
Then again he lies about everything else. Hey maybe he does but it just confirms Donald told Comey to quit investigating him or heād get fired! Or more likely the Russians recorded it and are blackmailing Donlad with it.
Old school pettifoggery gives Trump an edge of class his shysters donāt have or coffin nail tweets now coming from a high-speed nail-gun or bothā¦
but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.
Trump: I didnt want to tweet that. As you can tell, my lawyer told me to. Putin tells me we have the recording.
Liar liar XXL Pants on fire!!!
Old school or middle school?
Weasel-in-chief. Quelle surprise.
So in essence he is admitting that he mentioned the possibility of tapes as an implied threat to Comey (and others) not to talk for fear of recordings that he can use against them in some way
Isnāt that classic obstruction of justice stuff?
No, he got to let off steam last night in Iowa, so we wonāt get another manic episode for a little while. But I wouldnāt be surprised if he sacks Mueller during the next one - especially now that Mueller got himself on the cover of Time magazine.
@abbymac No, because he used the word āhopeā and something something tell my children I hope they do their homework something not obstruction.
@irasdad Itās the āattemptedā portion that upsets Donnie the most. Heās a great intimidator - the best!
I believe the proper legal term is āattempted witness intimidationā.
Sounds very ālawyerlyā ā does anyone else in the administration have recordings?
