People are so dumb. I knew what Trump was doing the minute I read his tweet. He was trying to shed light on all the bullshite ummasking, spying, and 4th amendment violations done by Obama against his campaign. So when he said "you better hope there's no tapes" he was saying essentially "welcome to my world."

Trump's other point is that while he did not personally record Comey, you can bet your candy arse NSA was listening in (at least on the phone calls) just as they do almost all phone calls around the world.

No, based on his past behavior, this was an empty threat. In 2007 he admitted under oath to falsely threatening to record someone who was scrutinizing his behavior (in this case a journalist). From his unsuccessful lawsuit against Timothy O'Brien:

quote:

During the litigation, my lawyers deposed Trump for two days in December, 2007. Under oath, Trump said he never recorded our conversations and that his Trump Tower office was not equipped to do so.

"Mr. Trump, did you ever tape-record your conversations with Mr. O'Brien?" my lawyer, Andrew Ceresney, asked.

"No, I did not. He tape-recorded all of my conversations with him, however," Trump responded.

The deposition continued. "Mr. Trump, did you ever tell Mr. O'Brien you were tape-recording conversations with him?"

"I'm not equipped to tape-record. I may have said it once or twice to him just to -- on the telephone, because everything I said to him he'd write incorrectly; so just to try and keep it honest."


Trump's already claimed Obama tapped his phones and produced no evidence. This kind of behavior is a disgrace to the presidency and it only makes things worse for him with the special prosecutor.
