Congress Wants Trump’s Tapes (If They Exist?)

Making stuff up has its advantages–nobody knows if you really mean it or not. In Trump’s latest “is it true?” episode, the president implied that he has tapes of conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.

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

When candidate Trump tweeted that he might “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz, everyone took it as hardball politics. You can’t take Trump literally, but you have to take him seriously, they said. But as president, you have to take Trump a little bit literally, otherwise, we might end up in a war over a misunderstanding, right? (Don’t answer that.)

Comey told friends that Trump invited him to dinner, and asked three times to “pledge his loyalty” to the president. the New York Times reported. For a president to ask the head of the nation’s independent law enforcement agency to pledge his personal loyalty is improper, to say the least. For him to do it at a private dinner, face to face, in the midst of an investigation that could potentially embroil the president himself, is flirting with obstruction of justice should the investigation lead back to Trump.
