Fiasco.
Tell me again, how much the position of WH Press Secretary pays?
Rather ask how much it costs. You can still see Seanâs pupils, but only barely.
When Spicey is hooked up to a polygraph, maybe Iâll start watching his briefings again.
The American pepole need to remember what the GOP has failed to do, we must never forget.
March 22, 1973: Nixon Orders Aides to âStonewallâ Watergate Investigation President Nixon tells his aides, in a secretly recorded conversation (see July 13-16, 1973),
to ensure that the nation never learns of the political and financial
machinations that surround the Watergate burglary from his aides under
investigation: âAnd, uh, for that reason, I am perfectly willing toâI
donât give a sh_t what happens, I want you all to stonewall it, let them
plead the Fifth Amendment, cover-up or anything else.â Judge John
Sirica, presiding over the Watergate trials, is appalled at later
hearing this conversation. Sirica will later write, âA lifetime of
dealing with the criminal law, of watching a parade of people who had
robbed, stolen, killed, raped, and deceived others, had not hardened me
enough to hear with equanimity the low political scheming that was
played back to me from the White House offices.â [Werth, 2006, pp. 131-132] Nixon tells aides H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman that E. Howard Hunt, who has been blackmailing the White House (see March 21, 1973),
is no longer a problem. But he wants something on paper that he can
point to and say he knew nothing about the Watergate conspiracy, and
that he had ordered an internal investigation of the matter. He sends
counsel John Dean to Camp David for the weekend to write the document.
there are no tapes, with some exceptions
Operating recording equipment requires skills that are beyond those that our so-called President possesses.
Fortunately, heâs hired it out and he has this guy on it:
You might try this link.
White House In house counsel has to be screaming mad about now.
Great, great, great movie! It really resonates even nearly 50 years later.
Translation: Dumble tapes WH convos.
Subpoena the tapes.
What the tweet says to me is "I the Preshitident issue this threat to blackmail Comey with âtapesâ. "
Sean, get off the Titanic. Youâre not comfortable lying to the press. Leave that to Sarah Huckabee, sheâs a bit of a bully and doesnât seem to have a conscious.
As with most of trumpâs tweets, I think this was an impulsive retort to the NYT story quoting Comeyâs âassociatesâ directly contradicting trump. Implying he had his version of the discussion on tape is sort of like saying he has detectives in Hawaii and âThey canât believe what their finding.â
I doubt any tapes exist.
Threats and extortion are the only way to do business,
Especially by someone who has gone bankrupt at least four times and relied on Russian lawyers, bankers and other Soviet Mob type associates to get himself back on his feet. No wonder Trump still canât distance himself from General Flynn.
Unless they are sex tapes. The Soviet Ambassador showed them to Jared and Flynn? And Putin has the originals?
Really, Donald? You really thought you could bully Comey and threaten him with tapes after heâs already seen some of the preliminary Russian evidence against Donald? Youâre a dead man walking whether Putin calls in you vowels or the spooks get even with you.
In SpicerWorld, everything is always âvery clearâ and âspeaks for itself.â
