    Comey? No he's solid as a rock.. He's been spotted puttering around his garden. All the manic gyrations are coming from Trump.

    Intelligence provided by the Israelis on ISIS. Trump was just grandstanding for the benefit of his ego.

    I am worried about the sort of disaster Trump may cause with his visit to KSA and Israel. He really is a bull in the china shop.

    'Deep Throat' didn't identify himself until 2005, thirty years after Watergate broke. Nixon still went down, and so will Trump.

    He is due to give a speech about Islam-in Saudi Arabia. What could possibly go wrong?

    Now he is a basket case, when he was investigating Hillary Clinton you were patting him on the back. Talk about a bunch of hypocrites.

    Well, for starters you are comparing candidate Trump discussing other candI dates to President talking about the head of the FBI.

    But I think the part where he said the Russia pressure thin is lessened because of the firing is the bigger issue.

    When you say, "see them verified," do you mean you want to know their identity personally? I mean the reporters have verified the sources, they just haven't made them public.

    So true and what's sad is he thinks he's so much smarter than any one else. "I can fix anything" - "I'm smarter than the generals"

    Hard to draw conclusions from just the snipets. Trump maintains Comey informed him that he was not the subject of the Russian investigation. That revelation, and Comeys removal did likely make Trump more comfortable in engaging in Russian foreign policy relations. I think Trump was feeling pressure from Comey and MSM not to engage with Russia at all. Trump relating that in his mind the collusion fiasco was behind him, and negotiations could resume, wasn't improper.

    Those questions should never have been ethically ASKED...and if they were they should have been asked by the White House Counsel. Just asking such a question can be viewed as intimidation

    If you would take off your sheeple blinders you would acknowledge that, if it was not true the WH would have been screaming FAKE NEWS. They haven't.

    If you would take the time to do some research you would know that it hasn't been facsimiled into the public arena because the NYT does no have a copy. The sources read from the transcript to the reporters, exactly as described in the NYT article.


    You, and millions of other sheeples, have seen and heard trump repeatedly make crude and ridiculous comments while on the campaign. Yet, somehow, you are still in denial when his latest blurbs are revealed.

    I think the question was asked to specifically determine whether Trump could, or should re engage Russia in negotiating terms for coordinated anti-terrorism efforts in Syria. I think Trump reasonably assumes Tillerson may be still under scrutiny, and certainly MSM has been critical of any interaction between Tillerson and Russia. MSM hysteria is causing real foreign policy difficulties.

    "was never" does not mean "will never".

    In the beginning, Starr was not investigating anything related to Lewinski. One thing leads to another.

    In the beginning, authorities were looking at a simple break in. One thing leads to another.

    To make his point he exaggerated and that in itself is a lie. Donald can't open his mouth and state the truth. Every thing he says is at the very least an exaggeration and that's lying.
