Trump will live tweet during Comey testimony

That's a bold strategy... cotton & rubio
Also I anticipate a live trump tweet being read back to Comey within minutes and Comey being asked if it's true.
"Trump just tweeted that you are lying when you said he asked you to let the Flynn thing go, is that true? A reminder that you are under oath, and the presidents tweets are not..."
10AM EDT
I looked it up and PBS says 10 AM Eastern. Perfect time for some beer!
Trump: " I should generate admissible evidence while angry."
This is great. Hope he incriminates himself.

Never even thought of this 🤔🤔🤔🤔 oh man
Twitter probably never truly deletes any old tweets much like Facebook and Snapchat don't.
Shit, I wouldn't be surprised if they have one of those fancy NSA letters that they can't make public or challenge in court that say "fuck you give us everything".
I would love to see Republicans get fucked up on some patriot act shit.

He knows as a TV star you're required to live tweet your season finale

This has already happened at least once during a Comey testimony.
It's probably a safe assumption that there will be a fleet of lawyers trying to monitor his tweets. It's probably also a safe assumption that at some point, someone, possibly Jared or Ivanka will be urged by other members of the cabinet to simply take the phone away from Trump.
All of these contingencies will fail.

See this is why these testimonies are worthless. One, they are led by republicans and two, they are not to try to get to the bottom of anything except create a circuss around Comey to make him look bad. Why he agreed to testify in front of these morons is beyond me the real investigations are those by the FBI and CIA he should be sitting with them explaining himself and no play into the Republicans misinformation game.

If Trump could prove Comey lying that tape would have been out weeks ago.

Yeah, forget E3/NBA Finals/Stanley Cup Finals. THIS is the June event I've been waiting for.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
I think that already happened at the first hearing where he went public with the investigation, his response was something like "I don't know I'm not on twitter right now"
I'm sensing a pattern involving investigations and dinners with Trump.
"if he feels the need to"
so 100% confirmed he's going to do it then. He's so thin skinned it's going to take over his whole week

Good. Wouldn't have it any other way. I hope he makes this even worse for him.
Sessions perjuring himself during his hearing is what led to the appointment of Mueller. These things can matter.
There's Democrats that will also ask questions. It really doesn't matter who is leading. Just relax.

This is great.
He's completely destroying all of his Executive Privilege powers.

Last time Trump live tweeted a hearing, one of this tweets made NSA director Mike Rogers briefly transform into Adam Scott.
Yeah, Comey can say whatever he wants, it's live TV. Truth will get out.
If and when Mueller's probes reach his level.

Oh yeah I remember it happening, just didn't register when I saw this headline.
"I'm a good guy."
The other possibility is that if the Democrats start asking questions the Republicans don't want to hear, the focus can be taken entirely off Comey and redirected at Obama, Clinton and butterymails. The Republican weakness is that they can't seem to stay on focus if there's an excuse to attack the previous administration, so just keep the heat off Comey by bringing up diversionary tactics any reasonable human being would spot a mile away, but a fight hungry Republican will fall for every single time.

The well is so thoroughly poisoned by this administration. I can't even imagine how long it will take to recover from this administration.

He should go on Twitch. The trashy live chat would suit him perfectly what with all the swastikas and such.

at least they'll be able to talk about his favorite subject - the crowd size at his inauguration
I mean - if you're a Trump true believer, basic facts are not something you can actually believe in.

Trump only has two states - cocky and petulant, and he's almost always a blend of those two at any given time.

Comey stated the DoJ/AG were not obstructing. He didn't reference the White House. But as I said earlier they definitely will try to nail him on this.

Worried about what?
I sincerely doubt anything truly substantial will come out of this. Cannon fodder for days.
Id love to be proven wrong though.

Trump does not have the discipline to not ask them to do something dodgy with the testimony. Keep diggin' that hole deeper.

This is the most amazing part. How is he not staying busy with governing?
He's gone this long without doing anything worthwhile, what's one more day?
