WikiLeaks announced Friday it is prepared to pay $100,000 for any tapes of conversations between President Donald Trump and former FBI Director James Comey. The message was sent out from its Twitter account just hours after Trump sent out his own tweet apparently warning Comey not to leak information to the media because of tapes he has of their meetings.

Update: U.S. lawmakers ask Trump to turn over any Comey tapes. Background on Comey's firing.

    That is very true, and it is the central and most important reason why we don't let our "friends" get away with crimes, because then it means our enemies will too. Everybody who supported Bush & Cheney thought it was so cute and ballsy when they violated our laws with impunity, but as soon as Obama got in and followed their lead, suddenly it was all "OMG how could this be allowed?!!!" And vice versa. No big deal that Obama could assassinate American citizens or spy on everyone, but now that Trump's the guy in the chair it's the end of the world (TM).

    Either we have equal justice under law, or no law at all.
