Spicy Sean just refused to comment on Trump's tweet to Comey about possible 'tapes'.
General Breaking Now- Comey dismissed as FBI director
- Thread starter seekntruth
- Start date
What part of it isnt?
It was a question with a one word answer if it was even asked at all. Not a big deal except to those grasping at straws.
Spicy Sean was just asked if it was appropriate for Trump to ask Comey about any active investigations into him as it is against DoJ guidelines. Spicer answered with an, 'I dont know'.
The comments are hilarious.
Agreed lol
LOL. America's Orange Mob Boss is now taping people without their consent? Ironic eh?.
It's not illegal, lol
Legal or not, that tweet could end up being a big mistake.
What are you thinking? Intimidating a witness?
Didn't say it was.
It is however contemptible, shady and dirty. Which is why it is illegal in some states....
Which states?
Not 100%
but I believe all presidents call are recorded
and if not I'm sure it was accidental unmasking anyway
The recordings will either come back to bite Trump or Comey in the ass.
Democrats have demanded the committee has access to the tapes if they exist and if not, Trump needs to tell them so.

So I guess James Clapper is lying too?
--Clapper also contradicted the White House's account that the FBI rank and file had lost faith in Comey running the agency.
"From my vantage, the morale in the FBI was very high," he said. "And I can attest because of the high esteem and respect that people in the FBI had and still have for Jim Comey."
Maybe, but I think it now let's everyone know that there is a strong possibility a recording exists. I wouldn't of even thought there was before that tweet.
Wait, we disregard James Clapper unless we like what he is saying right?
Presidential phone calls are all temporarily recorded and spit into transcript as needed.
There's nothing public about the transcripts being always, sometimes, temporary, permanent or if the NSA keep them to blackmail the president or whatever?
But yeah, the calls are all snooped internally for presidential protection and unclear archiving reasons.
I wonder if Trump knows if the calls were recorded. I can find nothing that clearly states what keeps a transcript. And I also would guess "tapes" references the above given the purposeful use of quotes.
the Presidential Records Act:
- Defines and states public ownership of the records.
- Places the responsibility for the custody and management of incumbent Presidential records with the President.
- Allows the incumbent President to dispose of records that no longer have administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value, once he has obtained the views of the Archivist of the United States on the proposed disposal.
- Requires that the President and his staff take all practical steps to file personal records separately from Presidential records.
- Establishes a process for restriction and public access to these records. Specifically, the PRA allows for public access to Presidential records through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) beginning five years after the end of the Administration, but allows the President to invoke as many as six specific restrictions to public access for up to twelve years. The PRA also establishes procedures for Congress, courts, and subsequent administrations to obtain special access to records that remain closed to the public, following a 30‑day notice period to the former and current Presidents.
When have I disregarded Clapper?
