Trump Taking questions now, in the Rose Garden.
He also says he has tapes and will be talking about them very shortly.
This is going to be good lol
I think he said he will be telling us in near future IF tapes exist and that we would be disappointed? Or did I mishear that?

What?
WHAT?
Lordy, I hope he does.
I'm amused he keeps calling Comey a leaker. It was his own memos which he released as a private citizen. Leak? No.
I can't wait for him to lie to Mueller and get caught later.

Haha. His anger level spiked quickly.
Not sure anymore. Maybe I misheard lol. I thought the "disappointment" part was pointed at the media who don't think tapes exist or something.
We will see I guess.
He's just digging a bigger hole here.

Why would he offer that up
He's not gonna talk to Mueller or testify.
It's a pathetic attempt at bluffing.
Ego.
Nah he was very vague about it, he didn't confirm or deny any tapes. He just said we'll find out "shortly" and we're going to be "disappointed about it"
He got hammered with several Comey questions back to back and he lost his temper.
Cool. I was listening from the other room so that makes sense.
Was hoping he went all in with writing a check he can't cash.

That tweet is not even a proper sentence. Does Trump only know how to speak 3/4 of his own language?

Wow, he just said he would say that under oath. Come on senate, get him to testify under oath. I want to see him grilled by senators.
I was listening to that on my way home. That wasn't just "angry." That was a tantrum.
He said we'd be "disappointed," which I assume was him saying he's going to be cleared (He's way too arrogant to play that "victim" card, but yet he plays it all the time), but he said that about the timetable.
My guess is he puts it off & hope people forget like with the Obama birth certificate.

It wasn't even back to back really. I think he asked the guy to be fair and then he felt it wasn't. Just the way he asks reporters to be fair makes me feel he would ask someone to be loyal.
That's what I heard.
It's a weird response that he didn't have a response to it now, whether it was a prepared denial or a justification for why he mentioned tapes rather than saying we'll hear about it soon.
Also to Mueller.
I don't even comprehend how this happened. We went from 0 to 300 so fucking fast it was surreal.
In Trump's mind all he has to do is hold his hand up and say "I do" and then everything he says from then on is empowered with magic pixie dust and he's off the hook. Y'know that taking the oath thing, it's a pretty good deal. Pretty good!
He probably thinks its easy to do after watching Comey do it.

Do you solemnly (swear/affirm) that you will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, (so help you God/under pains and penalties of perjury)?
No lies detected
I don't think we'd get to see it even if he did.
On MSNBC earlier someone said, since it's the President, a testimony under oath would be behind closed doors in front of a Grand Jury(?).
Also talking to Mueller would be behind closed doors.
I means, it obviously good if he actually testifies, but I don't think it will be the circus people hope it will be.

His advisors and attorneys will put the man in a coma before they let him speak under oath.
Nah, they will go easy on him so that Comey looks like a lying asshole and leaker

He would or will? Would means he's never going to.
Worthless prediction; He's going to say the tapes exist (I actually think they do), but they actually make Trump look bad, so he'll say they contain material that is either classified, or sensitive enough to declare executive privilege, and not release the entirety of them.
He'll then release edited parts of the tapes that leave all the damning stuff he said out, and declare himself vindicated.

You mean Congress? If he is speaks under oath in front of the Senate questions will come from Democrats and Republicans. Democrats will see blood in the water and their questions will be laser focused to get Trump to commit perjury.

What I find amusing is how he has to tweet how "vindicated" he is regarding Comey's firing is completely telling as to why he was fired in the first place... i.e. "The only reason I fired him was because he was investigating me... but now that he's come out as a leaker, it completely validates my decision! I knew it all along!"

There was no investigation then. Doesn't mean there isn't one now.
Hint: there is with the special counsel.

If there is hot seat to be in then resignation won't save him now that Mueller is appointed.

Personally I'm hoping he just gets up and walks away from the stand
He's never going to testify
I think that happened recently and nothing happened.

oh god please take a pic of this travesty.
I definitely will if it comes back.
Half your country belongs to a certified cult now.
I think it's closer to 27%.
Well only ~27% of eligible voters put him in office. (And some have possibly flipped)
Just under 50% didn't even bother to vote at all (shameful).
The rest were divvied among Hillary and the other candidates.
But yes, far too many ungrateful cunts that literally smack away a helping hand for inhumane, selfish, or misinformed reasoning. It's a travesty.
