...Maybe the best thing to do would be to cancel all future "press briefings" and hand out written responses for the sake of accuracy???

So he is proposing to stop having live press briefings and instead just release propaganda as and when he feels like it with no opportunity to question. Riiiiight...

Fox News tonight: Hey, at least it's not as bad as the Civil War.

Their record with written documentation ain't so hot. I wouldn't worry unduly.

Sorry, forgot to post the link to the clip about getting Trump out.

So, Fox considers this more serious than Watergate?

James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

Thanks for that, Lweji.

Goodness, Pain.

If he drives Comey too far, then the man must start to consider 'overriding' issues.

Reporters: What do you have to say about the President seeming to threaten Comey?

Paul Ryan: Oh, look I'm not gonna respond to every tweet.

Sorry. And other people also.

whoops. that's me a bit slow on the mark.

Sally Yates considered 'overriding' issues and said No, remember. She was then fired.

Comey already has been fired.

Wow. This guy is President of the USA. What kind of attitude is this towards decent, hard working professionals.

He is going to alienate the intelligence community even more.

Since tapes is in quotations, it looks like you are admitting you wiretapped Comey. Can you elaborate?

I'm excited about the Trump tapes. Did you also wiretap Obama?

What else is on your the Trunp tapes? Do you discuss how Hillary beat you in the popular vote?

I'm not sure that's possible, Orlan.

Blimey he is tweeting up a storm this morning. Must have got out the wrong side of bed!

I would think that Comey will maintain a dignified silence as the others who were fired have done. It is the best way to rile him i think.

Sorry the last message was meant to be:

Replying to @tonyposnanski @realDonaldTrump
It's a delight when you wake up & the president admits to wire tapping the former director of the FBI. This weekend is going to be a dandy.

He'll be telling Comey about the darned planes. I can't face listening to that again.

Tappes surely.

Anyway, why is he so worried?

When James Clapper himself, and virtually everyone else with knowledge of the witch hunt, says there is no collusion, when does it end?

I'm sensing a whiff of desperation in these tweets......

If Trump never said anything suspicious or unethical, why would he care if there were 'tapes'? If all was above board, what could there be on them worth 'leaking'?

Smacks of "there's nothing there, but don't you dare look!!!!"

I thought people were saying they either aren't aware of any collusion because they aren't part of the investigation or they can't comment yet?

Looking forward to James Clapper being asked directly under oath if Trump is under investigation, if his team is under investigation and if there is any evidence.
