Who Actually Believed Trump Had Tapes Of His Comey Conversations?
By Susan Wright | June 22, 2017, 03:00pm | @SweetieWalker Did anyone believe there were actually recordings of the private conversations between President Trump and former FBI Director James Comey?
After the reports of the uncomfortable, private conversations between Trump and former FBI Director James Comey were made public, Trump was not a happy camper.
Comey had written in personal memos about those meetings that Trump, at one point, had asked for “loyalty,” and in an Oval Office meeting, after having dismissed his aides, including senior adviser Jared Kushner, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions (both who seemed to pause, as if unsure leaving was the right thing to do, in that moment), Trump stated that he hoped Comey could see his way to dropping the investigation surrounding ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Comey later testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee that Trump did not ask him, directly, to stop the investigation. He simply said he “hoped” Comey could let Flynn go.
Flynn was fired from his position as national security adviser only three weeks into the job, after it was discovered he failed to disclose contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak. He also misled Vice President Pence about those contacts.
After news of Comey’s memos was revealed, President Trump took to his favorite venue – Twitter – and said that Comey had better hope there were no tapes of their conversations, before he started leaking to the press.
