Leaks just keep coming. I think Stinkles just confirmed Halo: Reach for MCC.

It might seem like a regular post, but expert like me sees this stuff. Trust me.

Well, Trump IS "the best" example one could use of a President that is unqualified to run the country, is "the most" dangerous President as far as national security is concerned and is "the biggest" joke of any Presidency so far,
 
Republicans Insist Donald Trump’s Request To James Comey Wasn’t Serious

Some Republicans ― including an unnamed White House official ― maintained on Wednesday that Trump was merely joking when he told Comey to lay off of Flynn, who was fired earlier this year over his conversations with Russian officials before the president’s inauguration.

The argument that Trump merely made a casual request to Comey to drop the investigation of Flynn is also suspicious given that Trump later fired Comey. The explanation for his ouster is still unclear ― the president and his top aides have offered contradictory accounts of their reasoning on the matter.

“It’s absolutely absurd the president supposedly made such a comment and director Comey sat on it for three months,” Miller said Tuesday on CNN.

He added: “It’s a little bit weird and vindictive on Comey’s part that he had a little diary that he could play gotcha with.”

Everyone, he wasn't cereal! It was just casually!

Mitch McDonnell? No Impeachment hearings start in the house. So Paul Ryan. Not sure if Ryan could actually stop a vote for impeachment if the majority of the house wanted it.

Preview of what the Republican line will be when Comey testifies.

They're going to frame it as Comey was keeping these notes to blackmail Trump. Nuts.

And he jokingly requested his loyalty and then, get this, he pranked the world by firing him! Oh Trump, that jokester.
 
It gets to the point were you want to be remembered being on the right side of history, they are are all complicit right now and history will still show how cowardly and self serving they were but you know, in the end, you stepped away from the crook, traitor, sexist, scumbag President and that's a good thing so step away.....

But he provided copies to Justice Department right away right? So it's actually Sessions that sat on it?

That makes sense. Trump wasn't serious at all just like when he fired Comey. That wasn't serious either. Comey is welcome to come back if he drops the investigation...

Paraphrasing a tweet I saw yesterday, but this quote is pretty representative of how deeply shallow right-wing thinking has gotten. This is something a dimwit high school bully would say to the principal.

Of course the FBI Director keeps detailed notes.
 
So, if I'm reading this right (been off the grid since last night)...

The official line denying that this conversation took place, has been dropped in favor of 'He was just joking'?

Making this the third time in a week, that the first official line out of the White House Press office has been confirmed as bullshit by the White House.

Is that a fair assessment, or are people saying he was joking in a hypothetical 'Well if he said this, maybe he was joking' kind of way.

Obviously this joke was far too funny for everyone else in the meeting to hear. They would have laughed so hard that their hearts exploded. So when he asked everyone else to leave the oval office before telling Comey this joke, he did so for humanitarian reasons.

He asked him to casually stand in justice's general vicinity and path of travel, if he slowed it down maybe that wouldn't be a bad thing, but he never asked him to obstruct justice if justice tried to walk past him. That's all.
