The bipartisan leaders of the House Russia probe threatened to subpoena the White House Thursday for any recordings of meetings between President Donald Trump and former FBI Director James Comey.

In a letter to the White House, Reps. Mike Conaway (R-Texas) and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said the White House failed to satisfactorily respond to their earlier demand to clarify whether any such tapes exist. Instead, the White House shared a Trump tweet in which the president said he had “no idea” whether any recordings exist.

"Today’s letter from the Committee makes clear that should the White House not respond fully, the Committee will consider using compulsory process to ensure a satisfactory response," they wrote.

1. Americans want to know where are the tapes Mr.Trump?

3. Aye and you notice that all he said was that "he" didnt record Comey but my guess is if

such tapes do exist that he probably had someone in his administration or someone that he hired to record the conversations otherwise making such a threat about tapes makes zero sense ergo the tapes do exist but someone else made them and then the question becomes who has them now? The person that made the recording or were they given to someone else?

2. We want to see what you are doing with our tax money behind closed doors

Time for a little truth, Comrade Casino - republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

We are sick of you screwing around with America, the truth, and democracy. And another thing: you, and your stanky, caviar-stuffing, vodka-guzzling russian-republican mob pals, damn well better keep your greedy greazy godforsaken paws off Lady Liberty and USA democracy. Harrumph!
