    And you see nothing wrong with that?

    The fact that Trump (initially) and his administration DENIED the Russia investigation had anything to do with it says it all. It is not the president's job to determine whether an FBI investigation is legitimate or not. Let the damn process play out.

    We shall see what a new bright mind does. I seriously doubt he/she will expect a permanent fishing license comes with the appointment. They will find there is evidence or there is none damn soon.

    Why would you believe that, but not this:

    Plus Trump is alluding to recordings. Does he have tapes like Nixon did? How stupid can he be?

    I'm not talking about Clinton either, just the crazy conspiracy theories that are in common between the two.

    I ask why you'd believe one but not the other?

    Smoke = fire, after all!

    Oh, but it is.
    Probably only the President can fire the the quy. Perhaps the AG but normal business practices require two levels.
    That would be the AG and the President.
    The process was followed. Now we see if a new Director can navigate the waters and layout a direct course.

    I don't think I would use recordings/have tapes if I were president. If I did there wouldn't be anything interesting on them probably. Then again maybe I would because I'd like to think id be a very transparent president. Not that I'm ever going to be the president.

    Trump recording conversations maybe very interesting to hear. It'd be funny if the voice he uses in public and his rambling way of speaking were fake, and he sounded completely different in private.

    I'm just pointing out that there probably is a recording system in the white house. I don't think Obama used it, FWIW. Or maybe he did. He says he didn't.

    I don't see Trump's tweet as a threat, but more of a "I may be able to back up what I said with recordings" and that Comey might want to think long and hard about what might be on those tapes.

    The law firm that represents Trump also has extensive ties to Russia. It even recieved a Russia law firm of the year award in 2016...

    A threat is something of the form: "If you don't do X, I'm going to do Y"

    I don't see "or else" in what Trump tweeted.

    Do I think it was foolish of him to post this tweet? Yep.

    I hope so and so remembers those conversations I taped before they open their mouth is an implied threat in the very least if not an open one. It's blackmail

    Don't forget, this is the same Law Firm that released that letter yesterday exclaiming that Trump has very little ties to Russia.

    Here's my question. If the dude really has nothing to hide, at all, and there's ZERO evidence of Russia collusion within the then Trump campaign or his admin, then WHY doesn't he release his tax returns? ZERO evidence. NOTHING TO HIDE? IT'S ALL A FANTASY! FAKE NEWS!

    Release them then, you fuckin' crook.

    I hired a Russian immigrant once.
    Not so sure it was a good decision but does that jeopardize my standing as a loyal American?

    And the Russians are laughing and saying this is going to end very soon. I can imagine Putin calling Trump, "(Russian accent) Donny Boy you must take care of this quickly okay my friend."

    Heh? What has this to do with Hillary's loss, the Russians or the Chinese?
    Perhaps your hate? Try talking to a priest, it might help.
