Trump Turns Ire At Leakers Against Comey, Suggests There Is More To Come

By ESME CRIBB Published JUNE 11, 2017 9:17 AM

President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that there are more revelations to come from fired FBI Director James Comey, and questioned their legality.

“I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible,” Trump tweeted early Sunday morning. “Totally illegal? Very ‘cowardly!'”

Trump made similar remarks on Friday in another early morning tweet where he labeled Comey a “leaker,” referring to Comey’s decision to share the contents of memos about his conversations with Trump to the press via a friend.

Comey revealed that decision during his testimony on Thursday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, where he painted Trump as a liar and testified that Trump tried to obtain a loyalty pledge from the former FBI head and pushed him to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.

Trump on Friday said he was “100 percent” willing to match Comey and testify under oath to contradict Comey’s testimony.

1. Bad headline, Raw Story

Don't repeat his words. The whole point of his tweeting is to get others to repeat his lies.


State the truth
Note the lie
Return to the truth
(Lakoff)



Better headline: After Comey testimony on Russia and president's lies, tweets this morning aimed to distract

2. The Times Cover Says It All...

[sharedvalues]

5. Wow

Thank you Time

[KewlKat]

7. Holy crap!

[RKP5637]

11. Is this real? Is there a link? Thanks! n/t

[WePurrsevere]

14. Although I'd love to see it be real, I'm not finding it on Time's site...

Here's the covers they've had from this year so far:
http://time.com/vault/year/2017/

[RKP5637]

16. Thanks! Yep, I don't think it's real either. I've seen some instances of it, but always

followed by similar questions. It would be nice if it were real!

[WePurrsevere]

18. Time's been pretty good about...

calling Trump on his lies, Russia, etc but this isn't one of those 'yet'.

[RKP5637]

19. ...

[sharedvalues]

25. Time ran this cover

That one is pretty direct.

[WePurrsevere]

28. My favorite of theirs so far. The animated version...

of it is pretty cool too. At least Time isn't kissing Trump butt like some other media does.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

21. Doesn't the Donald LOVE being the cover story on TIME??????

But this one will not sit well with him or his White House staff.

Want to bet that he will have his lawyer file a law suit against TIME for defamation of character. Trumplethinskin hates anything that portrays him in a negative light. There is very little positive to report anyway.

3. You Was Handed Good Economy

By a Democrat you A$$hole!

[RKP5637]

20. The asshole rides on other peoples coat tails and then says lies that it was all him! He does

this with just about anything good, claims it was because of him. The guy is a lying sack of shit!

[Volaris]

4. The DEMOCRATS are obstructionists...

Is there an IMAX projector in DC?

RE Comey--is he TRYING to go to prison? Or does he think if he does this enough, that being a Russian puppet-state will just sort of become a-ok with us, and be the new normal???

Oh and those economic numbers? Yeah those would be leftover from the actual work that Obama and Co did before leaving office, because the stock market is considered a LAGGING indicator and is about 6 months behind; what are the projections for the holiday shopping season this year, mr trump..

'He will die in prison.'

[sharedvalues]

6. Remember his tweets are designed to distract

The key issues are Russian election interference and Comey calling the president a liar. Let's focus on those.

[Volaris]

8. The Russians hacked the election and Comey called him a liar because both those things are true.

I'll give Shout Spice credit tho, I wouldnt do that job for double his salary. SecPress takes a keen mind when the president isn't a traitor, I can't imagine what it's doing to someone who thought that bunnysuit was ever a good idea..

12. The NASDAQ took a tumble only Friday.

Down to the tune of 119 points... Mostly in the Social Media/Internet area. Shades of a Bubble Bursting.

9. I guess his designated handler finally dozed off...

or they accidentally skipped his dose of Thorazine.

Whichever, Ol' Yeller is back on the phone.

"I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible." <- Any clue what this really means? Covfefe?

10. Obama Created 2.2 Million Jobs in 2016

Trump is lagging way behind Obama.

22. About the economy, re: Trump statement right after June 2nd jobs report

Wolfers' tweet: https://t.co/KWSd8GWp2s

Trump opens with "THE ECONOMY IS STARTING TO COME BACK..."
Here's the data. Decide for yourself. - Justin Wolfers




---------------------------------------------------
Progree sez: The economy may not have completely stalled out (judging from the June 2nd jobs report), but it has slowed down. Only 594,000 more jobs than in January, for an average gain of 148,500/month.

Contrast that to the average job gain in the preceding 12 months: (Jan 2017 minus Jan 2016)/12 = 194,200/month

Non-farm payroll jobs: https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/CES0000000001

And as far as May itself -- Payroll jobs: +138,000 (but considering March and April were revised down by a combined 66,000, there are only a moderately pathetic 72,000 jobs more than there was in the May 5 jobs report)

13. This thang's cheese has slid right off his cracker

15. Drop over and go to the asylum for the criminally insane.

17. Prevalent as in widespread...Trumptopian Speak for "Latest focus of RW DISINFORMATION campaigns"

[progree]

23. Before the election, Trump said the BLS unemployment rate is fake, it's really 42%

https://www.usnews.com/news/at-the-edge/articles/2017-03-01/donald-trump-believes-unemployment-is-very-high-its-actually-48-percent

Trump was talking about the percent of the adult (age 16+) population not in the labor force

# NILF -- Not in Labor Force http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS15000000

But as it turns out, only about 5.9% of those say they want a job. The rest are fine with not being in the labor force

# NILF-WJ -- Not in Labor Force, Wants Job http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS15026639

But now that Caligula is president, the once "fake" 4.X% unemployment rate is now something to brag about.

[Bayard]

27. up 19.5%. Drilling

He says that like its a good thing.

[moonscape]

29. And when he craters the economy, it will be Obama's fault. n/t

30. That is what the broken record of Trump keeps repeating.
