Oh, hi
Seriously, who here can defend this? I don't even think Grind can defend this. A sitting president threatening, a now private US citizen, with recorded conversations if they leak to the press. This is creepy.

Oh, hi
Its not a veiled threat, its actually good advice for Comey.....
You approve of recorded conversations, that Comey likely did not know were recorded?

I'm asking your opinion, not whether other people think it is okay.

Trump probably let the Russians install the recording equipment the other day when he let Russian spies in the Oval Office.

I'm surprised you think it is okay to secretly record conversations that the other party doesn't know is being recorded.
well we don't know the exact circumstances. He put "tapes" in quotes. Doesn't the white house always record stuff for historical purposes? or maybe there was a certain type of discussion that was on the record and recorded that comey has full knowledge of. There doesn't have to have been an actual tape recorder hiding behind the curtains or something.
Comey should not be leaking. He should go of into the sunset. If he leaks though, he might be in trouble. Maybe comey has been found playing both sides or lying or being deceitful or who knows what else.

Also it turns out it's not against the law in DC:

This says nothing of the fact that the White House is essentially a public place and people probably shouldn't have an expectation of privacy there.
Comey better watch out.
The District of Columbia's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. DC makes it a crime to record a phone call or conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. See D.C. Code § 23-542. Thus, if you operate in DC, you may record a conversation or phone call if you are a party to the conversation

Oh, hi
That is interesting. One would, I think, expect a higher level of privacy in the WH than elsewhere. But, I am apparently in the wrong and there is no expectation of any conversation being private.
Other states do not have the low level expectation of privacy and both parties must agree. That is troublesome to think that anything you say to someone can be recorded and then released to the public. That boggles my mind.

Oh, hi
I agree that Comey should not be leaking.
And for the Jarod's of the world, leaking is not being a witness.

Was the meeting in a dual consent state? Somebody may have committed a pc 632 type vio. Illegal wiretap invasion of privacy.

Yep. But he was unaware. He's stupid. God only knows what gadgets were planted.

Subpoena the tapes. The watergate parallels increase by the day.

It's such a vague Tweet it's impossible to not speculate about what Trump was getting at, exactly.
My guess is the media will go with the most sinister interpretation lol.

I believe your question has been answered in the subsequent posts.

I've been on the wrong end of a couple 632 suits. I was indemnified by my employer though. It can be costly even when the infraction is inadvertently done.
I bet trump was wired up as part of a plea deal for more lenient treatment. Lmfao.
