RUSH: Let me tell you the next thing the media is going to have an absolute fit over. Its already begun, and it is because of a tweet that the president sent out earlier today. Now, I didnt see the presidents tweet when I first heard about this. I heard something else. I heard a report that the president had warned James Comey that there had better not be tapes of our conversation. Thats what I heard. I dont remember where. It was during show prep today.
Very important here. What I heard, what I read was that Trump was threatening Comey. Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations! The way that was reported and the way I interpreted that was that maybe Comey had secretly taped Trump, and that Trump had found out about it and was livid and was warning Comey, You better not use it! Thats the way it was reported. It turns out, its exact opposite.
Here is Trumps tweet: James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press. Well, I didnt have it presented to me that way. The way it was presented to me the way it was reported was that Comey had perhaps taped Trump when theyd had dinner and that Trump found out about it and was threatening Comey Youd better not release tapes of our dinner or else! and its the exact opposite.
If anything, Trump is doing the taping and is warning Comey: If you go out there and start lying about it, I can disprove what you say. So youd better be careful. Thats what Trumps tweet really means. Now, I think it is a fascinating misrepresentation. I dont know if any of you, when you first heard about Trumps references to tapes of conversations with Comey I dont know how you first heard it, but I first heard that it was reported specifically that Comey might have taped it.
Why? Because Comey knows Trumps insane! Comey knows Trumps a lunatic! Comey knows he cant trust Trump! So Trump asks him to dinner and Comey goes in there with his iPhone and is taping things to guard against Trump going out there and lying, like Comey saying that he cleared him three times! Thats not what happened. The New York Times has a story about Comey having dinner with Trump. Trump sees the story and then tweets, James Comey better hope there are no tapes of our conversation before he starts leaking to the press.
So what this has done (laughing) Sorry, I have to laugh. I Im sorry. (laughing) I cant I cant (interruption) Snerdley says he cant believe Im laughing at a time of crisis. (laughing) Im sorry. (laughing) Yeah, I guess its an explosion, because its got everything the media wants. Its got Nixon. Its got the tapes. Its got Woodward and Bernstein. Its got Deep Throat, maybe! Its gonna have everything here.
All we need is Hope Hicks and an 18-minute gap in the tape! (laughing) The media is so desperately to relive Watergate. Journalists who are practicing journalism today who were not even alive during Watergate think this is their Watergate! What is Watergate? Its when you get a president. Its when you destroy a president. (laughing) So now Trumps alluding to the fact he may have to tape him! (laughing) Sorry, folks, I just have to laugh.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: So, folks, right when we went to the break, I was laughing about Trump, cause I tell you whats happened here with Trump saying he might be taping people in the White House. The medias gotten as hysterical as they were over his tax returns, as hysterical as they are over the Russians and firing Comey, and NBC Access tape where he talked about pussai. (laughing) Theyre just So Im watching CNN. As soon as we went to the break, CNN runs a graphic the bottom of the screen, Source Says Comey Not Concerned About Any Tapes. (laughing)
So they already Somebody reached out. Are you worried? Are you worried? Trumps maybe got tapes! Are you worried? No, no. You can tell CNN Im not worried. (laughing) Who do you think the source is? Its Comey! (laughing) Not worried about any tapes! (laughing) Im sorry, folks. I just I marvel at the ability to drive these people crazy. They think theyre driving Trump crazy, and they may be. But Im telling you, theyre losing it, too. Theyre literally out of their minds now. Were watching a descent into insanity. Its Jane Eyre right in front of us.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I tell you, folks, you want to know why Im laughing at Trump saying, Comey better hope there no tapes of our conversation? (laughing) You remember back during the campaign when nobody could find the 30,000 emails? There were 30,000 Hillary Clinton emails nobody could find, and Trump got tired of everybody asking about it. So Trump said, Hey, Russia? Maybe the Russians can find the tapes. Russia, if youre listening maybe you could find the 30,000 emails, and the Drive-Bys went insane.
JOHNNY DONOVAN: And now, from sunny south Florida, its Open Line Friday!
RUSH: Trumps out there cracking jokes; they dont get it. They have no sense of humor. Trump is mocking the fact that everybody knows where these emails are that Hillary has and nobody will produce em. So he asks the Russians to find them, and the stupid idiots in the media tried to use that as proof that there was collusion between Trump and the Russians over Hillarys emails. If theres any foundation I say that with very loose intentions.
If theres any foundation to these Drive-Bys thinking that Trump was colluding with the Russians, it dates back to (laughing) when Trump ask the Russians to find Hillarys email. (laughing) That was one of the funniest things Id ever heard. It still is. So now Trump tweets, James Comey better (laughing) James Comey better hope (laughing) I look at this and I can see Trump sitting there at his phone or wherever he tweets (laughing) this stuff out, James Comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversation before he starts leaking to the press.
So CNN, Source Says Comey Not Worried About Any Tapes. (laughing) Theyre all breathlessly waiting for the White House press briefing, and Fox has their own graphic. The Fox graphic is: Awaiting White House Briefing After President Warns Comey About Leaks to Media. (laughing) Then theres another tweet under that one from earlier this morning. Trump tweeted: As a very active president with lots of things happening, its not possible for my surrogates to stand at the podium with perfect accuracy.
Now, this is in reaction to the Drive-Bys literally going hysterical over different versions of stories being told at different times of the day regarding Rosenstein at the Department of Justice and Comey being fired and Trump saying he did it. No, Rosenstein did it! No, I did it. The press secretarys out there trying to keep it all straight, and Trump says, Hey, theres so much going on with me, nobody can keep up. My surrogates dont know whats what from day to day because in my presidency, theres lots of stuff happening.
I wish people would take a moment to step back and realize what an epic presidency this is and realize we are never gonna see anything like this again our lifetimes, and weve never had it prior to this in my lifetime. I mean, normally we get idiots like Jimmy Carter, who do great damaging things. I mean, while Trump is doing all this, the country is vastly improving! As I have detailed today. Some of the core things that were destroying the guts of this country are being reversed. And its
This is so outside what everybody has accepted as establishmentarian norms. And then the medias acting like its the end of everything sacred, and I just have to smile at it. (interruption) No, dont misunderstand. I know theres some serious things going on. It leaking is deadly serious. (sniffles) You know, when I laugh Im sorry I get sniffles, folks. But the leaking which I talked about in the last hour, is a serious thing.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: It was predicted. The Drive-Bys have become hysterical over Trumps tweet that Comey had better be careful if he starts leaking cause there might be tapes. Spicer is back doing the daily briefing. Here just a sample
SPICER: I assume youre referring to the tweet, and Ive talked to the president. The president has nothing further to add on that.
REPORTER: Why did he say that? Why did he tweet that? What should we interpret from that?
SPICER: As I mentioned, the president has nothing further to add on that.
REPORTER: Are there recording devices in the Oval Office or the residence?
SPICER: As Ive said for the third time: There is nothing further to add on that.
REPORTER: Does he think its appropriate to threaten someone like Mr. Comey not to speak?
SPICER: I dont think thats Thats not a threat. He simply stated a fact. The tweet speaks for itself. Uh, Im moving on.
RUSH: Ah, I like the way theyre playing this. Theres nothing more to say. The president will have nothing further to add. Well, does he feel he can threaten Comey? He nothing further to add. What do you mean? He thinks appropriate to threaten somebody like Comey not to speak? Its not a threat. Its simply a fact. The tweet speaks for itself. Im moving on. The president has nothing further to add. (laughing) Look, folks, Im not sitting here naive. It could well be that the Trump White House is out of control. Hell, who knows?
Im still telling you this is fun to watch this happen.
Im having fun watching the media spin out of control, whoever else is also. Cause Im telling you: On the other side of this, there is all kinds of good news happening that is related to the Trump agenda. Ive shared it already today. If you missed it, check RushLimbaugh.com later, as we update the site. We update it much more frequently now. We can update it practically instantly. You dont have to wait til the end of the day for the whole show to be updated. Its all worth the contrast that weve made today, taking note of it, if you missed it.
Trump is always baiting the media and they go for the bait every time.
*UPDATE* President Trump Drops Another MOAB Media Missing Sally Yates and James Comey Timeline
Cliff notes version, Comey and Yates may have been planning to entrap Trump and be able to therefore recommend that he be impeached. Trump is onto it, and the tweet refers to a dinner he had with Comey where Comey would claim that Trump had interfered with the "Russian" investigation and asked that it be shut down. Because of Trump's tweet, Comey now can't be confident that the dinner wasn't taped, and would reveal that he is committing treason.
I’ve had all I can take from the communist MSM. It’s time to put an end to their partisan propaganda.
Guys, gals, the point is there are no tapes and no chance of tapes; Trump is way ahead of Comey and way ahead of the MSM. He is poking the MSM on their wanting this to be like Nixon and Watergate tapes...get it?
Maybe he has tapes, maybe he doesn't, but put that thought out, and now you're talking POWER.
It's not about what you actually have, it's what your enemy *thinks* you have.
I'm loving every minute of Trump making liberal's buttholes pucker.
They DON'T know what he has, and lets them hang themselves.

...
Totally agree! I despise every one of the gated mansion 495 beltway butt boys like Scarborough and Ignacious and many others.
I suspect this may have something to do with why Comey suddenly without explanation retracted his agreement to testify in Congress this week. He probably read the tweet and wet his pants.
Yes, but logically Trump has to be telling truth about the conversations. Because if Trump lied,and Comey never said those things to Trump, Comey wouldn’t care if tapes exist. Comey only cares about existence of tapes if he did tell trump he wasn’t being investigated.
