"I can say definitively that Trump is not a liar." (Trump's press secretary, not his lawyer. Sorry.)

Edit: Sorry, it was White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders who said it.

2. Vinnie Boombatz Esq.😏

[niyad]

3. I can say a lot of things "definitively ". that does NOT mean they are true.

[jeffreyi]

4. Sounds like one of those headtwister logic riddles

[cynatnite]

5. with few exceptions. n/t

[jberryhill]

7. *snort*

[Vinca]

6. The Onion?? Borowitz?? Guess the lawyer hasn't heard why all the other lawyers

weren't interested in representing the President of the United States. He's a liar and a deadbeat, too.

[yellowcanine]

8. A variation on Nixon saying, "I am not a crook."

[bdamomma]

9. once a con always a con

this lawyer thinks he's fooling us with that comment.

[luvMIdog]

10. I think people that are paid by someone do make better character witnesses hahaha

[Chiyo-chichi]

11. "You tell them I'm not a liar" was apparently

the take-away from him watching the hearing with his lawyers.

[Chiyo-chichi]

12. Funny, too, isn't it

that Sarah Huckabee Sanders used the EXACT same phrase?

[Initech]

13. Move along! Nothing to see here!

[anneboleyn]

14. Like Wonderland. "I'm a liar so if I say he isn't a liar are we both liars?"

[Madam45for2923]

15. If he believes that, he is one big dumb ass.

[MoonRiver]

16. And he was paid how much to say that?

Just asking.

[Towlie]

31. As a Trump lawyer, it's by no means certain that he'll get paid at all.

[MoonRiver]

37. True that!

[Doreen]

34. Hell, if I was paid enough I might say someone is not a liar.

Just not trump.

[procon]

17. Gawd, somebody send that poor fool some youtube video clips. nt

[maveric]

18. Who is his lawyer? Bruce Cutler?

[Achilleaze]

19. "He did not have lies with that falsehood, Mr. Truth." - Comrade Casino's Attorney

the republican draft dodger in chief is claiming he has some kind of relationship with truth.

[jmg257]

20. Unfortunatley for trump, he has showed just what a big-ass liar he is.

Election, inauguration, voter-fraud, fake news, why he did various things (fire flynn, fire Comey).

There can not be much of any credibility left.

[duncang]

21. Defending the person who lied 75% + of the time on the campaign trail. nt

[VMA131Marine]

22. But would he say that under oath ...

I doubt it!

[SeattleVet]

23. Not a liar?

Is that why one of his NY lawyers said last year that whenever they met with him, they always made sure that there were at least 2 lawyers in the room, since h would later try to lie about what was said in any meeting?

[louis-t]

30. I think that was his accountant.

[SeattleVet]

32. Law firm:

[louis-t]

33. Oh...

[Permanut]

24. And I can say definitively..

that I'm the Queen of England. Just incidentally, I'm a 71 year old male, no relation to the royal family.

[herding cats]

25. Definitively must be their new word of the day. It's the same one Sanders used too!

I wonder what will be on their word of the day calendar tomorrow?

[WePurrsevere]

36. Trump's lawyer must have said, ....

"Okay, everyone repeat after me, 'I can definitively say the president is not a liar'."

"Good good... Now Sarah, when reporters ask you, and they will, make sure you add in your special bit of sanctimonious outrage to make it seem real. :wink wink:"

[Cyrusvirus]

26. I'm not a lawyer but...

I don't think it's a good legal strategy to start off by insulting everyone's intelligence, and establishing right off that bat that you are willing to blatantly lie.

[asiliveandbreathe]

27. Checks clear!!!!! Bazinga...I have a theory...perhaps trumpster is broke??

This is why the FAMILIA is feeling cornered like rats!!!!

[C_U_L8R]

28. Prove it.

Hand over the tapes.

[unblock]

29. a lawyer is just putting forth his client's position.

this is not someone vouching for donnie's credibility.

this is donnie the liar himself insisting he's not a liar, just doing it through his lawyer.

[louis-t]

35. Right, the attorney has no way of knowing if drumpy does or does not

lie.

[gratuitous]

38. Oh, you libruls! There you go again

Sarah clearly said "that Trump is not a LAWYER." You all heard "liar" because you don't want America to be great again, and you're all just jealous, and none of you have gotten over the election when Trump won by a skabillion votes and swept the electoral college, and nanny nanny boo boo, stick you head in doo-doo, you childish hippies!

[Thrill]

39. Why would anyone believe her?
