    So you're just going to ignore Comey's testimony where he said, "Those words are not an order."

      No reasoning? And we are discussing the claim about the tapes. But perhaps we can agree that Trumps statements about the tapes was not an order. That should work.:-)

        Sorry, you guys have been spinning so many wild-eyed conspiracy theories, I'm having trouble keeping them straight.

            So Trump was lying yet again? But of course he was, we all know that. Trump has no credibility whatsoever, but expects us to believe his version of events over that of Comey. Come now.

                How did he lie? He said, "Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversation!"

                Is that a lie?

                  since he never said whether he had tapes or not, how can he be lying?

                    Because Trump's a lying liar except when he says something that liberals want to believe, in which case his word is gospel truth.

                      Thanks for the amen, Mountain Man. Never expected to get one of those from you. But even very bad humor can unify peoply. At least for a short while :-)

                          He also told the press the other day that when they find out if he had tapes or not ("very soon") they would be "very disappointed"

                          What is going to disappoint them the most? There not being any tapes.
                          ding ding ding!


                          No tapes. did it to make Comey stay honest apparently

                            Yeah it was a pretty straightforward attempt at witness intimidation. That can be added to his ever-growing list of crimes.

                              he trolled comey and the press. witness intimidation would be trying to get the witness to not tell the truth.

                              • It's a HUGE stretch to call that witness intimidation since Trump never threatened Comey. Intimidation would be, "You better not say anything that gets me in trouble or I'll put a bullet in your spine." But bluffing sometime into telling the truth? If that's intimidation then policemen and lawyers are guilty of "witness intimidation" every single day.
