President Donald Trump said Thursday he did not ask FBI Director James Comey to end his investigation into Russia's involvement in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
Trump emphatically said "no" when asked during a joint news conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos in the White House's East Room.

What part of "lawyer up" is unclear?

And he did all this to himself.

(19,205 posts)when you surround yourself with 'yes men' your entire life. No one ever dared tell him he's only one step above plant life in intelligence. That's a tough lesson to learn at 70 years of age, and during the most important part of his "illustrious" career. Will Donnie Trump finally learn a lesson in humility? I doubt it. Nothing seems to penetrate that cement head of his. He'll go to prison thinking he was the subject of a "witch hunt", and blame everyone else for his crimes. It seems a fitting end to his life though. It's all been a sham, a lie. Buh bye, "Don-the-Con". It wasn't nice knowing ya'.

He is so vengeful he might think it was Obama getting back at him for the whole birtherism thing.

(Bill Clinton not having "sex with that woman" was technically true if sex meant intercourse.)
Asking the FBI for a favor putting the country at risk is far worse than lying about a sexual act in my opinion.

(2,579 posts)It will be impossible for him to "lawyer up". His own ego and delusions will bring him down.
I hope he keeps the news conferences coming daily. I'm betting he will cause at least TWO international incidents on his 'Piss Off The World' tour.

(37,415 posts)when asked by a rookie. In the corporate world getting fired is generally the end of it. In that context it's a stupid question, but no more. Of course if Comey is telling the truth and Trump is lying, well, that makes it worse. Like a coverup.
Maybe on the flight East tomorrow they can show "All The Presidents Men" on AF1.
