Trump intended to convey by his Mika tweet? Maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but how is mentioning that someone "bled" from surgery even "hitting back"? Post-operative bleeding would be fairly normal, I should think. So I'm not sure how Trump thought he was "hitting back." Or was the hitting back the name-calling, with the bleeding taunt being merely a gratuitous detail thrown in?

Why should Mika's bleeding make the slightest difference? What is going on inside Trump's mind?

to intervene with Comey to get the FBI to "back off" the investigation into Flynn. That, ladies and gentlemen, is obstruction of justice, almost exactly what Nixon did by ordering the CIA to obstruct the FBI's Watergate investigation.

"Coats told associates that Trump had asked him whether Coats could intervene with Comey to get the bureau to back off its focus on former national security adviser Michael Flynn in its Russia probe, according to officials. Coats later told lawmakers that he never felt pressured to intervene."

HOLY SHIT! Trump asked Coats to obstruct justice.

are people going to trust, a man who has given his life to public service for 3 presidents from both parties or a man who believed and stated that President Obama was born in Kenya?

Tapes would just be icing on the cake, imo. This is not a case of "he-said, she said." This is a case where the two accounts directly contradict one another and both cannot simultaneously be true. So Americans must pick whom they are going to trust.
