To those who still believe that President Trump is a big dummy, without a strategic bone in his body, I pose one question: If Trump had not fired James Comey how long would it have taken to find out that a) Trump was not the subject of any investigation b) there is no collusion c) there is no obstruction of justice. And if Trump hadn’t sent out this tweet: how different might James Comey’s testimony have been? “The President tweeted on Friday, after I got fired, that I better hope there's not tapes. I woke up in the middle of...

? ? ? ? ? ? ? Does everyone get checked at the door? Could the FBI Kingpin Komey bypass security checks for listening devices?

'Release all the tapes – I'm good with it!' Comey dares Trump to release recordings of their talks to corroborate his notes as he tells senators: 'Lordy, I hope there are tapes!' Donald Trump tweeted last month that Jim Comey had 'better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!' Comey said during his Thursday hearing: 'I've seen the tweet about tapes. Lordy, I hope there are tapes!' 'The president surely knows if he taped me. And if he did, my feelings aren't hurt: Release all the tapes. I'm good with it,'...

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...

Actor Tom Arnold is still allegedly holding onto tapes that show President-elect Donald Trump casually blurting the N-word along with “every dirty, every offensive, racist thing ever.” Arnold claimed he was in possession of these tapes last week, and while rumors about these tapes’ alleged existence spread before Election Day, they still have not been released, if they exist at all. Plenty of people are getting anxious about these alleged tapes, and they want answers. One such person is actor Michael Rapaport, who took to Twitter to ask Arnold, “Where Dem Tapes At?” Arnold replied in a 14-part tweetstorm that...

The coordination of the release supposedly implies the Hillary campaign is sitting on even dirt just waiting for the best opportunity to maximize the leverage of new releases to squash their own scandals. Which is why it's not terribly surprising that Bill Pruitt, producer of "The Apprentice", recently took to twitter to warn that "when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse." Follow Bill Pruitt @billpruitt As a producer on seasons 1 & 2 of #theapprentice I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebegininng 3:44 PM - 8 Oct 2016 · McAllen,...

Full title: "Trump's grass-roots supporters line up to defend him, accuse political elite of exploiting the controversy" At a GOP fundraiser in this picturesque swath of southeastern Wisconsin, Donald Trump was supposed to join the state’s popular congressman, House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, for their first joint campaign event Saturday. But Ryan, the nation’s highest-ranking Republican who has struggled to embrace Trump’s candidacy, rescinded the invitation after a recording emerged of the businessman making vulgar comments about groping women. When Ryan took the stage to speak Saturday, shock and anger over the incident was still palpable. But to Ryan’s disappointment,...

The New York Times leaked off-the-record conversation with Donald Trump in January recently to Buzzfeed. Buzzfeed’s editor in chief Ben Smith wrote this week that Mr. Trump reportedly told the NY Times that his extreme position on deporting immigrants was fluid and developing. Senator Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio lashed out at Trump and immediately demanded that Donald Trump order the release of the off-the-record conversation.

Obama Admin Had Tapes of Bergdahl Deserting to Taliban - Ignored Them at Trial Retired General David Hunt told Bill O'Reilly tonight the Obama administration has tapes that prove Bowe Bergdahl deserted to the Taliban. The Obama administration did not use the tapes in the trial of Bergdahl.

This is an excerpt with some particularly timely clips. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ To avoid handing over all of the 42 subpoenaed tapes to the House Judiciary Committee, Nixon instead released 1,254 pages of edited transcripts of 20 tapes in the spring of 1974. But the transcripts caused a national sensation as Americans glimpsed behind closed doors for the first time at a cynical Nixon who frequently used obscene language in the Oval Office, in contrast to his carefully tailored public image. The transcripts also revealed Nixon frequently discussing Watergate including the raising of "hush money" to keep the burglars quiet. "We could...

All over the Catholic world, statements are being made by the pope, cardinals, bishops, religious and priests about compassion for people in adultery and homosexual relationships. This is giving people arms to attack any priest or bishop who may uphold true Catholic and biblical teaching on the sinful nature of these sexual unions. But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother; and shall cleave to his wife. And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh....

President Ronald Reagan secretly recorded some of his conversations with foreign leaders, discovered author William Doyle, who shared some of these never-heard tapes exclusively with The Post. "Until now, taping was thought to have stopped in the Nixon era. I discovered that was not the case," Doyle said. The recordings from the White House Situation Room include Reagan trying to convince an intractable Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin to hold off the pullout of Israeli troops from Lebanon in 1983 until Lebanese forces can replace them; the president discussing the release of Western hostages in the Middle East with Pakistani...

At the townhall in Yuma, Arizona today, Senator John McCain said that the Obama administration has classified the surveillance tapes from the Benghazi scandal as "Top Secret". This makes the tapes unavailable to the public and most legislators. Senator McCain seemed skeptical about the necessity of classifying the tapes.

I think we should be asking a lot more questions about Breitbarts death. He promised that we would see tapes Breitbarts Full CPAC Speech At 5 minutes and 21 seconds into the video. "I've got videos by the way. This election we are going to vet him. I've got videos. This election we are going to vet him! From his college days to show you...

Michelle Malkin was invited on the Hannity Show tonight to discuss the Obama Harvard protest tapes that were released today by Breitbart.com. Michelle blasted leftie Juan Williams for playing down the significance of the tapes – tapes that show Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard in defense of a radical academic tied to Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And, once again we learn that the only experience Barack Obama brought with him to the White House was his expertise in radical, anti-American, socialist doctrine.

Obama tapes will be released tonight on Hannity tonight. Click on link for more info.

Earlier today, Buzzfeed’s Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released “the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.” The video, which Kaczynski says was “licensed from a Boston television station,” shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright--about whom we will be releasing significant information in the coming hours. However, the video has been selectively edited--either by the Boston television station or by Buzzfeed itself. Over the course of the day, Breitbart.com will be...

With the conservative world still mourning Andrew Breitbart, one of his confidantes stated yesterday that Breitbart's plan of releasing tapes of a young Barack Obama would go on. As he told Sean Hannity last night, the tapes will be released in a week to ten days. So what's going to be on these tapes? I had a chance to peruse the HotAir comments and some common themes keep surfacing: - Radical racial rhetoric. - Radical Marxist rhetoric. - Film of Obama with Bill Ayers or Bernie Dohrn. - Film of Obama during his 1980s trip to Pakistan.

Via Mediaite, here’s the hotly anticipated answer to the lingering question raised by Breitbart’s CPAC speech. No, he wasn’t just messing with the left’s head when he said he has tapes of The One in his younger years. They exist, says Bannon, and he and some of the “Big” guys like Joel Pollak and Larry O’Connor are going through them. They must be near the end of their review too if Bannon can promise them as soon as 10 days from now. Obviously there’ll be organizational upheaval for them to deal with in the days ahead, especially with a new...
