'Tape' Excerpt Transcript from Apparent White House Conversation:

Man with orange face: "Look Comey - we wouldn't want you should have anything bad happen to you. Just sign this pledge, OK?"

Sincere-sounding man: "Mr. President (cough, choking sound), As the head of this country's independent investigation bureau, it would be unethical for me to pledge loyalty to any President."

Man with orange face: "Well, now, I'm real sorry to hear that, Comey. Everybody's been signing it. I wouldn't want you should stand out as, you know, disloyal or nothing."

Sincere-sounding man: "With all respect that is due, Mr. President, nobody in office in this government should ever sign such a pledge. It's, well, un-American."

Man with orange face: "Damn you! You might as well start packing up your desk. I can fire you, you know."

Sincere-sounding man: "No doubt you can. I'm sure you'll do whatever you think best. So will I, as I always do. Good evening, Mr. President."
