Comey's testimony publicly released

[Sparko]

Yeah, you forgot about that little part about Trump know being requested to produce any recorded conversations he had with Comey.

Source: FOX news

House and Senate lawmakers leading the Russia investigation have asked the White House to produce tapes President Trump hinted might exist of a conversation between him and ousted FBI Director James Comey. They also made a formal request to the Comey camp for copies of the memos he testified he made to document the meetings.

The requests come on the heels of explosive allegations by Comey and a string of strong denials by Trump over the abrupt dismissal of the FBI director and the circumstances surrounding it.

A few possibilities.

1)There are no tapes and he better have a damn good explanation as to why he led both the public and Congress on that there were.

2)There are tapes but they have no conversations with Comey.

3)They are tapes and they prove Trumps story, proving Comey committed perjury.

4)They are tapes and the yvindicate Comey in which case, Trump will have committed perjury, and his doing so will raise questions as to why he lied.

5)He destroyed them.

Trump is going to have to put-up, or shut-up.

I am going with 1. And the reason was he wanted to scare Comey into telling the truth. And it was fun to troll the press.

At this point everyone knows that Trump is the world's biggest liar, who pathologically makes stuff up all the time, so there are almost certainly no tapes. Trump isn't competent enough to operate a tape recorder anyway.

well it wouldn't be lying since he never said he had any tapes.

Who uses tapes today anyway?

And his claim that Comey better hope he did not have them is not worth some consideration... It would at least send a signal that he may have them...

It was his way of scaring Comey into telling the truth. He never said he had any tapes. He said Comey had better hope he did NOT have any.

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.

He encouraged Comey to tell the truth. What's wrong with that?

Alternatively, the press would be very disappointed if the tapes corroborated Comey's testimony that Trump never ordered him to suspend the investigations.

The truth isn't welcome in Washington.

Well, as usual... those facts don't matter to libs:

When the oligarchs don't like the result at the polls they just change the rules and put one of their guys into office.
I have to hand it to the Democrats, at least they're efficient by thwarting the will of the people during the primaries.

What's with these liberals who hang themselves with this nonsense that always comes back to bite them?

When does it come back to bite them? Odds are excellent that Brad Sherman will be reelected regardless.

His statement back then could indicate that he had already done something wrong which Trump could prove. That does not seem to be the case so Trump once again lost the game.

As I wrote in another thread:

[They're] arguing with the official record.

RISCH: He did not direct you to let it go?

COMEY: Not in his words, no.

RISCH: He did not order you to let it go?

COMEY: Again, those words are not an order.

Trump couldn't ask for a better defense than that.

Tortured logic like that should be a crime against humanity.

The only torture seems to be the one Trump brought upon himself. And again, where is your reasoning? What you come up with is just a claim. :-)
