20 years ago, there was no such thing as a "perjury trap"...

WRT Bill Clinton and the Lewinsky witch hunt.

Now, they're warning/coaching Trump to avoid a "perjury trap."

Which is it? Does it exist or not?

Lawrence is discussing this now. Can't get charged with perjury if you don't lie. Shit, Mueller probably has a 4 inch thick folder filled with transcripts of most (I almost said all) of Trump's lies.

Clinton's "sin" was that he was a democrat

There's your "perjury trap." IMO, he will lie.

Only 12 months or so in, and Mueller is zeroing in on the inner circle.

I am sure he feels he is untouchable and is very confident going into any testimony or interview. He has had a life filled with lawsuits (mostly by him) and he thinks he is above the law. His lying spawn have the same attitude. They will lie like a rug.

drumpf is an abysmal failure at everything in life except for finding lawyers that pervert the justice system to save his ass.

expect a lot of "i don't recalls" and "i'm not sures". he won't tell the truth but he won't lie either. Reagan is the template for that.
