Another Oval Office conversation Leaked

Since practically everything Trump allegedly has said to foreigners from the Oval Office has been leaked, one would think that he would have narrowed down the culprit by now. I don’t care how scandalous you think these comments are (and they aren’t), it is unacceptable that people are leaking the president’s Oval Office conversations.

WASHINGTON — President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

    The swamp is deep and requires more draining.

    Maybe it’s the Russians.

    Nobody can deny Trump has a big mouth and digs many of his own holes but maybe it is time for somebody to stop look for squirrels and start citing facts.  Not the negative fiction spewed by the fifth estate.  A Harvard study show 93% coverage for Trump by CNN and NBC so please use real facts, not fake news. http://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_wacko.gif

    Humm. Still don’t see any facts just someone trying to control the narrative.  Just in case someone missed the study on how biased our news media is, here is a link https://shorensteincenter.org/news-coverage-donald-trumps-first-100-days/

    I agree with Owen.  I think the object of the investigation should be the leakers feeding top secret information to reporters that (my guess) don’t have a security clearance.  The potential of 10 years in prison does not appear to deter there leakers.  The actual law, 18 Us Code Sec 798 Disclosure of classified information is here, https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/798, if someone is interested.  18 US Docs Sec 2381-Treason is here https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2381.

    I see that all media, according to the article, is discussing the Trump presidency. And from what I see the majority of blogs and talk radio is spending a great deal of time covering his presidency also.

    So????http://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gifhttp://www.bootsandsabers.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    Actually they are probably feeling quite empowered and protected by the Comey Precident.
