Donald Trump lobbed a veiled threat at the former FBI director on Friday, hinting that some of their conversations before his firing may have been recorded.
'James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!' the president tweeted.
It's unclear whether Trump was warning that the White House is recording his calls, or if he believes the FBI may have been recording Comey's. Trump said Thursday during an interview with NBC News that the two men have spoken at least three times since Inauguration Day.
And on those occasions, he insisted, Comey assured him that he was not personally the subject of any federal investigations. 'He said it once at dinner and then he said it twice during phone calls,' Trump said.
He described a matter-of-fact exchange over dinner in which he asked an unusual question and got an unconventional response. 'I said, "If it's possible would you let me know, am I under investigation?" Trump recalled.
'He said, "You are not under investigation".'

Snopes has about as much validity as Bernie Madoff.
Do you think Trump is “recording everything” that goes on in the WH? And your comparison with Nixon is ludicrous.
Trump put “tapes” in quotes. So now the MSM can obsess for a few weeks about how he lied, when they discover they were actually digital recordings.
Trump is calling Comey a liar, which he is, and accusing him of deceiving the nation by “leaking” lies, which I believe he has been doing.
Yay, Trump, F Comey. I hope all of Comey’s crimes are exposed and appropriately punished.
Obama also fired/retired his NSA, (Michael Flynn resigns as national security adviser)
Whoops!
Well, if Mr. Trump has knowledge that the “sources close to Comey” who are leaking are actually Comey himself, I would call it a warning.
No, I think the other way around, that Comey was illegally recording the President. Trump probably has evidence of such, but Comey had no chance to destroy them because SURPRISE he had no advance warning of firing.
No that just means it’s not literal ‘tape’ but actually stored in computer memory.
“Firing him was enough”
Nope. Comey is still leaking BS to the New York Times.
Trump has them in a frenzy. Tonight's meme: The missing Trump tapes.
There might be tapes. And there might not be. How lucky does Comey feel?
lol
That picture is clearly racist on so many levels /s
You are assuming Comey and the Deep State are going to take this lying down.
It is a niave assumption.
This is no time to pussy foot and stand back — Trump needs to stay on the offensive until there is a definitive checkmate.
This morning conservative talkshow host Glenn Beck was making fun of Trump saying he thinks up his tweets when he’s sitting on the toilet.
Of course there are recordings. These are not just phone calls. We know the Libs have been recording Trump since at least the election. I am sure Comey & others have been recording Trump in many different forums. Trump knows this and is calling him on this. Trump and/or his staff or Secret Service has been recording important events. That is part of their jobs. Comey knows he was recorded. He also knows his own recordings are probably in trumps possesion. He is screwed either way.
By the way, people are falling into the same trap here as they did when Trump claimed he was first recorded. They are assuming these are phone wiretaps. This is not totally accurate. Trump did not call Comey at the Diner meeting. Trump and/or area may be taped. SS could be taped. Staff may be taped. There is a big difference between surveillance and wiretapping.
You are right on target, Madison10.
The day on which the out-of-town Comey was fired, I was the first and only one to post here that this gave the President the planned opportunity to seal the offices of Comey and his aides and assistants....and to swiftly remove all computers, files, tapes and other records and electronic devices.
I was right on the button...and it would behoove Comey not to try to out-smart or out-maneuver Donald J. Trump who is always a couple moves ahead in his thinking.
