This is hilarious - Snopes says on their fact check that this is a mixture of truth and fiction yet it states unequivocally that:

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.

Oh, god. A president is recording everything that goes on in the White House. That worked out so well in 1972.

Did you consider that DJT is playing with the most despised group of folk on the planet?? Seriously the DBM needs to be throttled with all their FAKE NEWS - we have the internet in 2017, nothing is more accessible to happenings in the USA in real time. We don't need no stinkn' ABCSeeBSNBCCNNPBSMSNBC,etc. Lies 24x7x365.

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.

(FBI Director Firing in Early '90s Had Some Similarities to Comey Ouster)....the BIG difference here are there were half a dozen bodies directly attached to the Clinton's.

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.

Exactly. Just like Trump put "wiretapping" in quotes. The MSM took it literally. You can bet that "tapes" will be used to compare Trump to Nixon. The hunt is now on to find the new Alexander Porter Butterfield who revealed the existence of the WH sound-activated taping system in the Watergate investigation.

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?

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.

"......but Comey had no chance to destroy them (recordings) because SURPRISE he had no advance warning of firing".

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.
