WASHINGTON President Trump on Friday warned James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director he fired this week, against leaking anything negative about the president and warned the news media that he may cancel all future White House briefings.
In a series of early-morning Twitter posts, Mr. Trump even seemed to suggest that there may be secret tapes of his conversations with Mr. Comey that could be used to counter the former F.B.I. director if necessary. It was not immediately clear whether he meant that literally or simply hoped to intimidate Mr. Comey into silence.
James Comey better hope that there are no tapes of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press! Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter.
Mr. Trump appeared agitated over news reports on Friday that focused on contradictory accounts of his decision to fire Mr. Comey at the same time the F.B.I. is investigating ties between Mr. Trumps associates and Russia.

NO! He should keep doing EXACTLY what he’s doing.
It’s called WINNING!
Trump is doing a whale of a good job already, rebuilding and releasing our economy from the rules and regulations of the Globalist agenda of Obama. WHERE I THE CREDIT for the immense improvements going on in this country? People are finding jobs that didn’t exist before Jan. 20th. Remember Obama saying “Those jobs are never coming back” to America? Ask the steel industry, ask the coal miners, ask people in the manufacturing business and on and on. It will take more time, but the change is already happening. Thanks to Trump’s EOs.
SELDOM are losers correct. It is why they are losers. America is a CAN DO Nation. True Americans are sick and tired of the Can’t Do disease promulgated by the left. We are HAPPY to have a leader again, not another politically correct nincompoop!
Keep on breaking things, President Trump. You’re moving in the right direction.
Ice cream vanilla but pie is chocolate. Subtle racist microaggression - white overpowering black.

Has Chris Cuomo, Rachel Maddow, Wolf Blitzer, et al’s heads all exploded yet? Haha.
Naw...he’s not as unstable as NeverTrumpers.
Saying nothing is not the GWB method.
Instead of asking about Comey, Trump ought to mention the pedophile scandal at Hillary’s State Dept and what happened to that.
Or keep asking why isn’t Susan Rice testifying?
Why were American citizens’ rights violated under the previous administration? They are spying on innocent citizens.
Why is the FBI stonewalling?
Keep repeating it and repeating it and that takes their time away, always attack, and never explain.
With every live minute use it to destroy these lying scumbags.
Right. :) Trump is having fun with the POS Press. ;-)
Yes, there are good things that have happened. But the lead headline on Drudge today is “Are there tapes?” How is a Nixonian Tweet by Trump supposed to help us? This kind of crap just gives weak-kneed congresscritters more latitude to defy Trump.
“And the press needs something to keep them in check, since Republicans are useless and working against him with the Democrats. “
Man, isn’t that the truth. The GOPe is about as anti-Trump as are the RATs.
When I think if our Congress today, I am reminded of some lines in the movie “The Scent of a Woman,” where Al Pacino says: “If I were the man I used to be, I’d take a flamethrower to this place!”
“...and I have been no Trump fan.”
So if that’s the case, whom would you like to see in the White House today? Little Yebbie? K-sick? Boobio? Scruze? Crispy? Carly? Inquiring minds want to know!
Yep, being silent and taking it in the ... is not the way to go.
It’s effectively using technology to get around the POS Press filters and lies.
NIXONIAN?????Are we to CONTINUE to SUPPORT Political Correctness which examines every word and phrase uttered by Trump for a double meaning and reference to some happening in history because of a similar word used? I am sick and tired of the continual misuse of our language by those who wish to limit our ability to communicate.
“There is no greater enemy to the conservative cause than the main stream media. It is well past time that they are consciously seen as such, called out as such and eviscerated.”
Yeah, we’ve not had a Republican President, save Reagan who fought back, and not even RR was as effective at this game as is Trump. At the end of the day he will have all the press’ “mirkins” framed and hanging in the Oval Office.
“I have read that Trump was afraid of leaks and so did not alert his Comms team until an hour prior to it be announced. The problem is that he doesnt trust his Comms team not to leak - that someone is running to the press that hates the Administration. They dont run to Trump friendly outlets either. They go to the NYT, Washington Post, CNN, etc. Thats a problem, and these leakers must be caught and terminated.”
Probably “top leaker” is Rancid Penis! I just hope he’s not long in his job. I think he was a “calculated risk” on Trump’s part to try and get the RNC on his side.
How many millions of WE The People need to show up in DC for the RATs, Elitists, and miscellaneous traitors to get our message, ya think?
The only “problem” with that is that those who would want to attend have jobs, families and are trying to live their lives, unlike the RAT Rent-A-Mobs who have none of those things to “tie them down.” And since they are in the “gibbsmedat mode,” they are only to happy to take cash from Soros for a “days work.”
Why would Trump publicly warn Comey?
NYT takes the bait.
Raise expectations, trip up the media.
I don’t know. Can they count past ten?
If the Soros-DNC-Clinton paid thugs were given prison time, they would either stop or demand thousands more per day of treasonous activity, ya think?
And, while we’re speaking of mobs, they shouldn’t be allowed by law to cover their faces while committing their crimes, IMO.
