James Comey better hope that there are no "tapes" of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go,” the president said, according to Comey.

‘The whole thing is tarnished’: Trump has already fouled up the process of getting a new FBI director

President Donald Trump has already “tarnished” the process of finding an FBI director to replace James Comey — who the president fired in May in an effort to halt the agency’s Russia investigation.

The Daily Beast’s Betsy Woodruff spoke to FBI personnel and experts on ethics and the federal nomination process for an article published Friday that explains why the roll-out of Christopher Wray to head the FBI was bungled from the very start.

The nomination is currently in limbo. Trump announced Wray as his pick on June 7, more than two weeks ago. Woodruff said, however, that the Senate Judiciary Committee hasn’t heard anything from the White House regarding Wray’s nomination.

The delay is highly unusual, though not unheard-of, said Richard Painter, White House ethics czar to President George W. Bush. Painter explained that the White House may have rushed the announcement before properly vetting Wray.

“He talks, Trump does, about the premiere law enforcement agency in the world and yet — I don’t know, I just don’t understand how he operates,” said a retired FBI agent to the Daily Beast. “To me, it’s another example of the guy’s total lack of respect and understanding for the government operates.”

Painter — who serves on the board of Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW) — said Trump has fully tainted and politicized the hunt for a new FBI director, remarking, “The whole thing is tarnished.”

Even when he tries, he gets it wrong!

Trump once bragged up his 10-year-old son's computer skills. Maybe he'll be in line for the job.

A spelling error on Donald Trump’s Facebook page has sparked tongue-in-cheek concerns that the US president is planning to reintroduce child labor in the US.

A video containing clips of Trump speaking at his rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa this week, included the caption: “And we are putting our minors back to work.”

A few hours back, I read a headline on some site (forget which) that said Spicer told people he had been unable to ask Trump yet about the existence of Comey tapes... Headline was about discussing Russian hacking with Trump.

On one site (maybe same), read Trump was attacking CNN about Russia-related story. I had read on same site (as this Trump thing) that CNN had retracted this story & lost 3 journalists due to it.
