generally argued, he s already been breached. eric: i don t think trump was ever talking about those specific he didn t really tweet about it until after jim comey said, by the way, i have a memo that i took after a private meeting with the presidents. eboni: comey would argue that the response to the president tweeting read to her that was a response. no, the tweet came after he said i have a memo. eboni: then he leaked. right. he said i have these tapes and comey actually leaked at the following. is that right? eric: i am not sure about that. katherine: i think so. eric: but trump i don t know what you call it. executive privilege by tweeting until after comey said he had a note. eboni: listen, america. don t ever breach your executive privilege for the democrats now in the full spin mode after following comey s claim about loretta lynch and what she told him about the clinton email investigation to call it a
facts. eric: by the way, i ve been in the oval office with donald trump. i ve been in the white house with donald trump. he doesn t make anybody nervous. i ve been in there one on one with him. [laughter] eboni: let me ask this, eric. two comey s, you know, going in on trump. did he get any credit ability points for james comey when he also turned the fire against loretta lynch? what was your take on that? eric: my take is i think he did it because he was sworn in. i tell you, you are going to hit on this later, but i can get in a lot of trouble for this. katherine: one of the biggest question still looming is whether tapes exist of president trump s conversations with james comey. here s the exchange where president trump was pressed on it today. do tapes exist of your conversations? well, i will tell you about that sometime in the very near future. you seem to be hinting there are recordings i will tell you about it in a very short. lack of time. okay.
do you have a question here? when will you tell us in a fairly short period of time. are there tapes, sir? you are going to be very disappointed when you hear the answer, don t worry. [laughter] eboni: you can t watch it and think anything else. eric: he s like a magician. he wants you to tune in later. yeah, i think it s hilarious. so i thought, i felt when he tweeted that out, i think the original tweet was director call comey better hope there is no tapes. eight-week can be anything, right? katherine: what else can tapes be can make any thoughts? i think we see why he s able to make the transition from real estate mogul to reality tv star to president of united states. he knows how to get people s attention and hold it. eric: think about this, though. there are tapes or there aren t tapes. if there are tapes, he must listen to be tapes. he was very definitive in the
you are right, tom. i think that s the thing about it. everyone that was hoping and praying for that moment yesterday from the comey testimony, they were never going to get it. at best, it s open to interpretation and nothing we heard yesterday points to a direction from the president. at best, it s a suggestion for now coming from the commander-in-chief, you can say is a very strong suggestion that many people wouldn t feel comparable going against, but ultimately we know that james comey did go against it and kept moving with the investigation. katherine: i was surprised to see him the 90 loyalty thing. i was being what james comey said yesterday, for democrats to play this as anything than a full vindication it is unfortunate for a few different matters for the democrats try and continue to score political points off of it when it s clear that russia did try and affect our election. it s also clear that they are trying to continue to affect elections and other countries. as de
eboni: or ever call he is the ultimate political animal and he would use it when it s best to his political expediency. eric: either one of those two scenarios could be true and both of them katherine: well, it is james comey in legal trouble after leaking his trump memo to the new york times ? eboni dives into the case next. shake it to the front go around shake it to the left
