When asked, a lot of his representatives stated that the decision on whether to try and block Comey was something that was discussed. So this was not a created thing at all....except by Trumps team.
Kellyanne Conway-"Trump will make final decision on whether to block Comeys testimony"
Thats a quote from her. So no, this wasnt made out of thin air.
Has President Trump ever said he was even thinking about blocking Comey's testimony?
Or is it all another fake story made up by the media to bash Trump?
If it doesn't work, I can see the next media headline now:
"Trump will be Making a Major Mistake if he Robs the Bank on 13th St. and Constitution Ave!!!"
Complete with major controversies, Congressional investigations, testimony from sobbing mothers who have all their savings in that bank, and weeks of stories on the history of bank robbing and the damage it has done.
If anybody in the Trump administration says, "Hey, this is all baloney, he's not going to rob the bank and never was!", the media will be quick to announce "Trump surrogates deny allegations of planned bank robberies, Trump remains silent". Democrat Senators will insist "It's the seriousness of the charge that makes it necessary to investigate it!"
And if any news channel questions whether there is any evidence that Trump was planning to rob the bank, the rest will scream, "Partisan news 'reporters' try to cover up possible bank robbery plot". And "White House continues to deny bank robbery scheme as controversy mounts!". And "What are they trying to hide???"
After a few weeks of such unrelenting pounding, polls will be taken asking people, "Would a bank robbery by Donald Trump be a serious matter?" and, "If the President robs a bank, would that rise to the level of an impeachable offense?" The answers to both questions would come back heavily affirmative, as they should be of course for any President ever robbing any bank, or planning to.
It doesn't really matter what Trump does or says, or even if he never gave the first thought to robbing a bank. The media can generate huge controversy from thin air, and make a lot of people who aren't paying much attention, think that Donald J. Trump was planning to rob a bank... or at least that there must be good reason to think so.
Or there wouldn't be all this coverage and controversy, would there? Where there's this much smoke, there must certainly be some fire, right?
And all the while, the media technically never accused the President of planning to rob the bank. They merely speculated out loud, what might happen if he DID so plan.
The fact that Donald J. Trump never planned to rob any bank, has no relevance. The media can generate such a "controversy" from thin air, and keep it going for weeks. And millions of people can eventually fall for it, and pay attention to it instead of a successful European trip, a rising economy, or anything else that actually did happen.
How many times has the media created a "crisis" or "controversy" from thin air, when in fact none exists?
How many times will they do it again in the future?
It was made up by the media to drive a narrative Trump must be guilty.
Same thing with a Comey memo.
Has President Trump ever said he was even thinking about blocking Comey's testimony?

Discussing his options is not exactly 'bashing', unless you suffer from hyper-sensitivity. The White House refused to say whether or not they would use the option, so they must have considered it.
Oh you silly poster. You know darn well if all the tables were turned it would be the same treatment of any Democratic President by the press...or I should hope it would be.
Do you mean like how the media gave Obama a pass, and attacks Trump on everything?
Like for example...
Trump calls home all ambassadors, and the media freaks out, and says this is unprecedented, and endangers national security, and Americans abroad. Obama did the exact same thing, and nothing from the press.
Obama restricts immigration from the middle east, and nothing from the media.
Obama's press secretary promotes his wife's book in an official press briefing, and nothing from the media, while the msm goes crazy when KellyAnn said people should buy Ivanka's cloths.
So no, the media is not treating Trump the same as any other president.
Do you mean like how the media gave Obama a pass, and attacks Trump on everything?
No, it's more like how the media invents a "crisis" out of whole cloth, announcing some terrible thing the President has never done and building it up into a supposed "controversy".
They take advantage of the way some people still believe that if the press says it, there must be some truth to it.
Under this delusion, they can plant all kinds of rumors, and Trump doesn't have to lift a finger. He's soon "likely guilty" of something bad, and that's all they remember. And Republicans wind up spending weeks or months of effort debunking it, when in fact the rumor was completely false from the start.
It's a pretty typical tactic of the extreme-left. Happening a lot nowadays, since the actual facts don't favor the liberal agenda so they can't talk about those. Creating these fake rumors are all they have left.
As I noted elsewhere, President Trump would be an idiot to try and claim that his conversation with Mr. Comey is subject to 'executive privilege'. Mr. Comey is not slated to discuss classified matters he may have discussed with the President, but about the allegation that Mr. Trump asked Mr. Comey to stop the Russian investigation of Mr. Flynn.
The Supreme Court, during Watergate, recognized (for the first time) the concept of executive privilege, but said that President Nixon could not claim such over his taped conversations with others concerning obstructing justice.
Plus, as has been noted, since Mr. Trump has unwisely tweeted concerning his talk with Mr. Comey, he opened that door anyway.
President Trump is not being 'open' by 'allowing' Mr. Comey to testify. He is painted into a corner, and he apparently has accepted that there is nothing he can do.
Unless Comey suddenly decides to not do it or "disappears", this Thursday is it.
