In response to the tweet about the Comey tapes, on MSNBC Ari Melber just said "Donald Trump is a

national version of Candy Crush, wasting our time whether we like it or not."

1. That's a brilliant analogy!!

[riversedge]

2. One of the hosts said Now, Trump has lost his credibility. Gee,it took this

long for the host to admit it (because he lied about the tapes)

9. Fareed Zakaria & Van Jones probably said that with this tweet Trump became president today. nt

14. I still can't believe Van Jones (I think you mean) of all people said that

I mean his original statement of course, giving Trump that kind of prestige simply because he one time was able to get through reading a speech written by someone else, on a tele-prompter.

[tblue37]

21. I did mean Jones, but no matter that I turned off autocorrect, it still changes my words,

even when there is nothing wrong with them. My "or" and "if" always get changed to "of" and"it." (They just did this time, too, and even after I fixed them they got changed again! It always takes more than one correction to make it stick.)

22. I'm sorry. must have missed the time orange manchild HAD credibility. can someone refresh my

poor old memory

3. brilliant

4. It's called distraction.

[procon]

5. Trump, who thinks he's the President of the United States, says he has no idea

"whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey".

So if the most powerful man in the world can't even find out if there is an active recording system in his own office, then he's too incompetent to hold that job.

Does this act of playing dumb get him off the hook, or is he still going to have to come clean and admit that he lied and there never was any sort of recording, regardless of who actually did it?

[L. Coyote]

6. Trump likely knows by now that the FBI taped the conversation, and Mueller has the tape.

[jmg257]

8. He does not need to come clean, 'cause he never said he has "tapes", yet still people

blather over his idiocy.

He does not care if there are tapes, or not.

[madville]

18. You are exactly right

Trump never claimed to have tapes, he said that Comey "better hope" that he didn't have tapes. Huge waste of time as usual, he likes keeping everyone, especially the media, stirred up.

[jmg257]

7. Yep - and those idiots eat his BS right up!

Tapes/inferred there were tapes/are there tapes/do you have tapes/no tapes/maybe someone else has tapes/were you lying when you inferred there were tapes/etc etc etc

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[GallopingGhost]

10. I don't know who said this, because I wasn't in front of the T.V

but some talking head is on with Jeff Lord and said, "If President Trump said that Jeff's name was Bill, Jeff would say, Let's talk about it."

Seriously, what a ass-kissing coward, so little spine that he will stammer and stutter to keep trying to come up with a more and more outrageous spin to cover Trump's lies.

[Amaryllis]

11. He is very good at creating distractions. RAchel keeps saying watch what they do, not what they say.

[Wounded Bear]

12. Yeah, well he strung the Birther crap out for years and years...

then "ended" it with an offhand remark.

His acolytes never even blinked, just dropped it and moved on to the next bullshit line he spewed.

[Toorich]

13. Did Rosemary Woods

erase the Tangerine Turd's mini-cassette from his little Radio Shack pocket recorder because it would have corroborated Comey's testimony?

[Enoki33]

15. Utterly amazed the amount of time that has been devoted to this

bs by the media. The liar still gets them to sing to his tune as his carnival barks get more ridiculous.

[OnDoutside]

16. Ari Melber is so underrated. A very intelligent and knowledgeable person.

[saidsimplesimon]

20. I agree.

Thank you Ari for all that you do.

[madville]

17. Trump never claimed to have tapes anyway

People are looking past his original tweet which said that Comey "better hope" that he didn't have tapes.

How many reporting or investigative hours/days/weeks/months are going to be wasted on Trump's wild goose chases?

I give it a week and he'll make some other outlandish, hypothetical claim the media will present as fact only for it to peter out after a few weeks in a thud.

[Moostache]

19. That is what is getting missed in all of this...

What Trump actually said is far more damning than the presence or absence of tapes...
He was trying to intimidate a witness....ham-fisted and futile to pull on Comey in the first-place, but Donnie 2 Scoops is not very bright anyway...

Trump wanted to act tough and spout bullshit...so he did.
Anyone who legitimately believed he had tapes and was not releasing them for this long when it would have easily proven him to be honest is a fool that is soon to be preyed upon by another charlatan imminently.

Witness intimidation (even attempted) is obstruction of justice.
Do I believe there will EVER be an impeachment of this asshole?
You all better just hope I don't have tapes with that answer for you...
