Well not to admit to it. Wink (Post Nixon, that's a No No.)

Trump wants people focused on the dialogue.

But the big questions are about the plot.

GingerIvy thanks for the JT news
DH has banned me from talking about JT as apparently I often have a "wistful" look on my face when I mention him Grin

Just in --> Responding to Q abt whether he recorded conversations w/ Comey, Trump says: "I can't talk about it. I won't talk about it."

What can't he talk about?

WH readout of Lavrov meeting does not mention Kislyak. W/o Russian MFA photos, would not know he was there. Convos w/him got Flynn fired.

Law firm @POTUS used to show he has no ties to Russia was named Russia Law Firm of the Year for their extensive ties to Russia. Unreal.

I wonder why he's declined. I guess we'll hear more on that?

IIRC during the 'early days' CNN and NBC had been moved to the middle of the pack and Breitbart and some other alt-right web-fake-news 'agency' had been given their seats. It was quite a brou-ha-ha. Looks like it's been rearranged and I don't see Breitbart anywhere on the chart.

I also notice that no West Coast newspapers are allocated seats. New York and Chicago, yes. But no LA Times or SF Chronicle. I wonder why that is.

I wonder if there is a difference in what you're allowed to say if you testify willingly or if you are subpoenaed.

I can't think why there would be. But I also can't imagine why he won't testify willingly.
