We need to talk about Donald – the Nightmare continues

[Brian Peacock]

This isn't the Onion. It isn't satire. It isn't fake news. Sean Spicer actually said this.

“My point is – it’s beyond whether or not it happened intentionally. Many of you may not like it, but the fact is that Donald Trump is the head of state and as such, it is within his legal right and power to decide how words in the English language are spelled, written, conjugated and all that good stuff. We have a beautiful language, but the thing about languages is – they’re living, breathing organisms. They change and they evolve along with the people who speak them, so it’s a natural progression. I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘covfefe’ turns up on Wikipedia or in dictionaries in schools throughout America as early as tomorrow. Because, that’s just one of the many perks of being President of the United States. It comes with the territory and it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want to use it,”

Yeah, we get that Sean: we're all supposed to accept that the president is the one true and absolute authority in all things. I hope you and your boss will be happy to accept that when the next president takes over.

"Only 37 percent of likely voters in the state view him favorably, according to a new poll released by EPIC-MRA this week. Fifty-three percent viewed Trump unfavorably to some degree, while 44 percent of voters viewed the president very unfavorably. And that's not the worst of it."

Those polls are of course fake news by the MSM.

Trump probably did not know he was on the list.

[Brian Peacock]

So I was thinking: does Trump have tapes of his conversations with Comey or not - the one's which Comey's memos are supposed to detail how Trump demanded Comey's personal loyalty, that the FBI make a statement that they weren't investigating Trump, and asking the FBI chief to 'let go' the investigation of Flynn? He certainly hinted that he did have some tapes.



If there are tapes then Trump would be the one to know about it - and as his tweet suggest, tapes of his conversations with Comey do seem to exist. And if he does have such recordings, and they exonerate him, why hasn't he released them, at least passed them on to the HIC investigation? If he doesn't, why did he publicly threaten Comey with their existence?

Regardless of whether these recordings actually exist, or not, his tweet is a blatant attempt to put pressurise and influence Comey with regards to what Comey might say publicly or, perhaps more significantly, what he might say in his appearance before the investigation committee, possibly this week. In other words, the tweet amounts an attempt on the part of the president to obstruct a judicial process that should remain independent of his influence.

Someone should ask him if he actually has tapes of his conversations with Comey and if he's going to hand them to the Oversight Committee and HIC investigation if he does - oh, someone already has, and it's not just the Democrats that are bothered by the implications.
