Trump claims that Comey told him three times that he was not under any investigation. And Trump was very specific.

Once at dinner.
Once when Comey called him.
Once when he called Comey.


What will happen if Comey denies it? Will he and Trump testify?

Comey and the FBI have already denied that they ever said that to Trump.

...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

Have they?  I've heard only 'I’m not aware of' comments.

Donnie you're out of your element.

[Brittain33]

Donald still hasn't figured out that White House press briefings are a service the press provides to the President, not vice versa. He wouldn't last 2 days with only the leakers and Democrats providing sound bites to the media.

[EnglishPete]

Comey is a strong patriot who is well aware of the classified material around Trump relating to his businesses and his Russian ties. I would imagine Comey will not let that die down easily. Neither will his allies in the FBI who feel he was pushed out.

Yepp. So it (as I said initially) is a really good news. Trump's acting resulted in the 'Russia ties' will get even more scrutiny!


The way Trump fired Comey is also very interesting. It was really awful, almost as Trump wanted Comey to react/start to leak. I hope we'll get soon much more new information (if there is something )

And now Trump is dropping a massive hint that there are "tapes" of the conversations with Comey. I suspect that Trump has been leading his oh so predicable opponents into a massive elephant trap.

Donald Trump himself has said that he hopes the Russia/Election campaign continues and indeed is expanded. All those opponents of his jumping up and demanding this investigation should continue and be expanded should be careful what they wish for. It might end up somewhere they don't expect.

LOL, there are tapes in the WH again? Is this Watergate 2.0 ?

Make smoking guns great again!

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Just a massive co-incidence I'm sure. Trump knows nothing. He can't possibly have been leading Comey as well as his political opponents into a massive elephant trap. Trump is just an idiot.

[riceowl]

Uhhh Kucinich just said Comey should have recused himself from the Russia case because he already implicated himself by helping to decide the 2016 election. What?

If there are any elephant traps here, Trump is standing at the bottom with his mouth open.

How's your office block in St. Petersburg this time of year? I've heard Russian summers are lovely

LOL, so Trump called and bragged about himself, "taped" it and after 25 leaked it to the media?


As creepy as it is, I really can see Trump calling Comey, bragging about his win, asking Comey about the investigation... and recording it on a tape...

Well, I'd be afraid if I was Comey...

once again i am impressed how much more reasonable english pete sounds compared to the actual WH releases.

Nixon said the same thing about Watergate.

This is slightly less insane than Kucinich usually is

Because he could be in significant legal trouble.
