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. Trump’s associates and Russia.

You’re quoting Truman about telling the truth? Lol.
I think there MAY BE something WRONG with your KEYBOARD.
“Trump should get off Twitter.”
So, then you’re theory is Trump should not attempt to bypass the enemedia and communicate directly with the people, but should instead let the people hear only the lying voices of CNN/CBS/ABC/CBS and what they CLAIM Trump said?
Not to mention, the enemedia proclaims 24x7x365 every day since he was nominated that he is “unstable”, regardless of what he says or does.
Oh, and Trump doesn’t sound unstable to me. He simply sounds like Trump has always sounded.
I’m in 100% agreement with Trump cancelling these daily press “briefings” after witnessing the latest howling attacks by the enemedia. They serve no useful purpose because the enemedia won’t report the answers given at these briefings anyway, because there’s no room or time left after all the lies they simply make up.
The best thing to do would be to simply issue written press briefs on the issues de jure and then walk out without taking any questions.
There you go again Prissy One, trying to override my intentions with your politically correct imaginings. I MEANT what I typed. Suck it up.
> Trump should get off Twitter. He sounds unstable, not what you want in a President.
People have saying crap like this since day 1. You were wrong then and you’re wrong now.
Well, since you MEANT it...
The last time a sizable chunk of our people showed in DC was Glenn Beck’s 9-12 Project.
Since then... haven’t seen it.
I have to say I was more than a little impressed by Yates. She seemed extremely intelligent and articulate...
Too bad she can not see the light. She would be an incredible asset to our side if she was able to understand the benefits on conservatism
Sure, pal, because you say so.
If he would shut up all that tweeting, the media tsunami would have a lot less water in it. Also, I cannot agree with him 100% of the time because within a few days or weeks he often says things that are the opposite of each other or off in a completely different direction.
If true, and we will have to wait on that one. Frankly I hope our President does have it on tape (although I am not sure how to feel about him taping people without their agreement), then we will know if Comey was asked if he was loyal to the President, rather than loyal to the Constitution, or as Comey may have said, loyal to the truth.
We are living in two different worlds, my friend. First off, Trump did not conspire with the Russians to overthrow the elections. Yet, there are thousands of thousands of stories claiming he did. Second, he is not into golden showers, did not remove MLK bust, DeVos does not want every kindergartener to be packing, there is not spike in transgender suicides, no climate change data purge, all the senior management at State did not resign, Trump is not invading Mexico, not renaming Black History Month, Roger Stone did not fire Comey, General Flynn security clearance was given by Obama, Obamacare repeal will kill 200,000 people, etc... etc... All fake news (bald face lies) run by the media with hundreds more.
How is the President going to fight the tide of outlandish lies? Twitter isn't perfect, but the war has to be fought.
and that's a “CLASSIC tail wagging the dog!!!!”...if they didn't make that up they would have.to deal with the REAL corruption under the whole Obama administration.....and the Hillary “intent” thing....Does anybody really think she broke all those laws to help our country....That should be the real News!!!
