Trump reportedly asked Comey to consider imprisoning members of the pressTodd Haselton CNBC
The New York Times delivered a bombshell report also confirmed by NBC News on Tuesday evening that revealed that former FBI director James Comey wrote in a memo that President Donald Trump asked him to drop the bureau's investigation into former national security advisor Michael Flynn.
Buried in the Times report is a note that Trump asked Comey to consider imprisoning reporters for publishing classified information.

There probably is an unwritten code somewhere that says only use one or two per day. It has already passed ridiculous and moved on to absurd. Pretty soon, when tRump runs around naked, picking roses in the Rose Garden, we won't even flinch ... even if they have video of it. 🙄
