    There, I said it.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Sounds pretty spot on. Why threaten tapes that supposedly prove a different story? The White House isn't the internet, and Trump isn't smart enough to troll.
      I'm not here anymore.

      • On my local 4 pm news today, Putin DID interfere with computer hacks during the campaign. He ordered it. The questions are now Why and what will this impact have? The Obama administration did little except try to plant little viruses to cease the hacking. Now what will happen. And I've only just heard this so I'm not citing and liberal or republican sources.

            I'm a tepid Trump supporter at best (most times, he needs to just shut his pie hole), but you're simply being asinine here. That's a pretty low bar, and he's abundantly cleared it. For evidence, recall his takedown of Ted Cruz.

                  When you look at how guarded Comey's testimony was, it sure seems like Trump's bluff paid off. Do you suppose Comey's allegations might have been more definitive if he thought his testimony couldn't be challenged? Instead we got a lot of hemming and hawing and qualifications like "I assumed" or "It seemed to me" and so on.

                  You know, police do that sort of thing all the time when interviewing a suspect. They'll imply they have additional evidence that might contradict the suspect's testimony in order to spook the suspect into divulging more information. If that was witness intimidation then no police interview would ever be allowed in court.

                  In other words, Trump's tweet wasn't even close to being witness intimidation.

                  • Trump has been using twitter to troll the MSM for well over a year.

                      Yeah, he's not smart enough to amass a fortune, either. I think too many people allow their disdain of Trump to color their assessment of his capabilities.

                        And it takes a real moron to come to the conclusion that's what I meant. You haven't changed a bit, Tazzy.

                          Yup! Trump's very own "fake news".

                            you intimidate wittiness with your every post.

                                It's a lot easier to amass a fortune when you take over your dad's. It's also not as if growing his fortune was done by him alone.
                                I'm not here anymore.
