Trump tweets warning at Comey...

Long history of secretly recording calls, according to associates...

 

Trump’s fascination with recording his conversations reaches back to the early years of his real estate career, when he installed in his 26th-story office in Trump Tower a “system for surreptitiously tape recording business meetings,” according to an eyewitness account in Harry Hurt’s 1993 biography, “Lost Tycoon.” And BuzzFeed News reported last year that Trump listened in on calls made by staff at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Trump sometimes informed reporters who were interviewing him by phone that he was recording their conversation.

“By the way, you don’t mind that I’m taping this conversation?” Trump asked a Washington Post reporter last spring.

“No, we’re taping it as well,” the reporter replied. “That’s fine.”

“Okay, good,” Trump said. “And so we are all on this, because I’m taping it also.” 

Through the decades, Trump’s top secretaries, Norma Foerderer and Rhona Graff, were upfront about the fact that they listened in on conversations taking place in Trump’s office.

Last May, as three Washington Post reporters interviewed Trump by phone about his finances, Trump pushed back against a question regarding his use of the pseudonym “John Miller” when he talked to some reporters in the 1980s.

Three of the four US citizens found by your Google Search suggestion were killed in the same drone strike in Yemen. Al-Awaki and his kid with a companion from New Jersey. Known terrorist, his spawn, and a recruit. Boo, hoo.

 

The fourth died in Pakistan having joined up with terrorists. Another boo hoo.

 

While using a drone is spectacular I don't see a whole lot of difference between using a drone or something more conventional like a SWAT team sniper. Except for the kid that had the terrorist father, what is your issue with any of the drone strikes? All were in areas difficult and risky to get live troops in to capture and except for the kid all deserved no better than what they got.

it is frightening that anyone can even think that.
the kid was a us citizen.  what about his right to a jury by his peers if he was guilty of anything, instead of a missile between his eyes?

Not knocking kids, but the likelihood of Al-Wackys' kiddo turning out to grow up and brighten the existence of us all was pretty close to zero. The right to a trial ends when you refuse to face said trial. It would have been preferable to not have the kid in the car, but if you bring your child to a bank robbery and get involved in a shootout with the police getting chased, of course it's tragic if your child is killed in the shootout but that is more on the fleeing bank robber than anyone else.

We all know who calls the shots in this White House. And he is in Moscow. 

I thought cities were feminine nouns.

Ha! So you didn't read the whole article? He's no longer selling awful co-ops in Queens, yanno. He's the president. No world leader is gonna want to have off the record talks with him.

the guy who has spent his life leaking anonymously and tapping throws wold accusations about-pure projection.
