If they exist…they aren’t his
Many have speculated whether or not conversations between our President and James Comey existed. Trump has added fuel to the fire by trolling speculation about the conversations being recorded. Many assumed that this was an admission by Trump that he himself recorded the conversations.
Trump took to twitter today and unleashed the truth about the matter. He let loose that he has no idea if their are recordings and if there is…they definitely weren’t from him. Scroll down for more details.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that he never recorded his personal conversations with former FBI Director James Comey after more than a month of media speculation on the subject.
The president tweeted on May 12 after firing Comey that the former FBI director “better hope that there are no ‘tapes’ of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
Comey said that this tweet inspired him to leak details about his conversations with Trump to the press. The House Intelligence Committee also sent a letter to White House Counsel Don McGahn on June 9 asking whether the tapes exist and, if they do, to turn them over before June 23.
Trump tweeted Thursday: “With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea whether there are ‘tapes’ or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.”
…whether there are “tapes” or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings.

Bloomberg was first to report that Trump did not make these recordings. The report cited a source that said Trump made his initial tweet in an effort to force Comey to be honest in Senate testimony.
Correction: Trump made the initial tweet on May 12 not May 9.
Trump really knows how to keep the media on their toes!
I believe Trump over Comey any day of the week. Trump is our President!
That Mr. Trump is something else! Wish everybody would stop suing and investigating each other and get to work.
The mainstream media, the Democratic Party, some GOP members, and the deep state went berserk to make fake stories to discredit Mr. Trump’s candidacy and delegitimize taking the Oval Office. Since Trump took the office of the presidency we have seen the barrage of negative stories about this incumbent president to impeach him.
The real issues are to fix the problems of America, i.e., National Security, draining the swamp in Washington, D.C. (with respect to anomalies on corruption other issues), unemployment, deporting illegal aliens, infrastructure, lower taxes, affordable health care, penetrating the inner cities, etc.
The responsibility of the Senate and the House is to help and support the president of the United States in order to accomplish and push its agenda. However, the problem with this, both parties have their own agenda with respect to their district instead of thinking for the good of the country. Career politicians wanted to protect their turf for the next elections otherwise they might lose it.
November 8, 2016, presidential election just had past while the Democratic Party and its supporters unable to move on instead they keep on bashing Pres. Trump that he is incompetent and allegations about the Russians collusion? All of this is simply no basis or bearing. In the past, the winners are respected because the American people chose its leaders but not this time.
Globalization is the main menu of the day that the private sectors and other entities of the world wanted to push for open borders that everyone has the rights to live in the country of its own choosing. In other words, rules don’t apply to these people. If that is the case, what is the use of law and order of the land if the laws will not be followed. For sure, it creates chaos and civil disobedience which will end to civil war.
In order to fix it, both parties need to cooperate and support the president for the common good. The late John F. Kennedy said: “Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country.” However, it appears that this thing will not happen because the DNC has their own agenda which is totally different from president’s agenda.
Socialism and Conservatism are two different species which cannot co-mingle with each other but if they are thinking about the common good of the country then the American people will be the one benefited. Washington, it’s time to work together and roll up your sleeves. — Gani B.
My first reaction when comey brought up the possibility of tapes, that he himself had done the taping as I never believed President Trump would resort to taping meetings. So if there are tapes, comey is the culprit.
