The President is in full meltdown mode. First he admitted to Obstruction of Justice on national TV. And then he theatens the newly Ex-FBI Director on Twitter. As someone pointed out, that could be construed as witness intimidation. Funny. Hilarious. Ridiculous!
This is like an "All the President's Men" & "Dumb & Dumber" movie mashup. Trump is too stupid, and casually corrupt to be devious. His faux-mafia tendencies are always front and center.
I don't know if Trump realizes he is in deep, deep shit. And I don't think anyone on his team is capable of stopping him from destroying himself. This is utterly, completely amazing.
Here is our Tin-Pot Mafia Boss trying to get the FBI Director to "swear his loyalty" to him... this is remarkable... the FBI Director is supposed be "loyal" to the law... maybe Martin Scorsese can make the movie... this is sort of like "Goodfellas" except really stupid...
As they ate, the president and Mr. Comey made small talk about the election and the crowd sizes at Mr. Trump’s rallies. The president then turned the conversation to whether Mr. Comey would pledge his loyalty to him.
Mr. Comey declined to make that pledge. Instead, Mr. Comey has recounted to others, he told Mr. Trump that he would always be honest with him, but that he was not “reliable” in the conventional political sense.
....By Mr. Comey’s account, his answer to Mr. Trump’s initial question apparently did not satisfy the president, the associates said. Later in the dinner, Mr. Trump again said to Mr. Comey that he needed his loyalty.
Mr. Comey again replied that he would give him “honesty” and did not pledge his loyalty, according to the account of the conversation.
But Mr. Trump pressed him on whether it would be “honest loyalty.”
“You will have that,” Mr. Comey told his associates he responded.
