Trump will never testify under oath

[thucythucy]

if he can help it.

Like all his other promises, this one is bullshit.

Wasn't it Hannity who promised to be water-boarded on TV to prove it wasn't really torture? He weaseled out of it, just like Trump will weasel out of this.

Remember Trump's secret plan to end ISIS? Just another bogus claim from our bogus president.

1. Trump would lie

I don't think he has any fear of lying his ass off, under oath or not. He thinks he's Teflon.

2. You may be right.

He is just that arrogant. Makes Nixon look like boy scout.

7. There are so many angles they could hit him with he would probably be forced to slip up

He simply can't lie about everything because it may be his word against several people or there could be a paper trail or he accidentally admits to something he didn't know was illegal. Everything he says is a lie but you can only get so far with that when you are under oath. He could be cornered by someone clever.

3. Trump has made Comey and his own credibility and an issue by call him a liar.

The Dems can go through every promise and scam trump has tried to ply on us and question him about on that issue.

You are right though, this is like his tax returns....never going to see them and he isn't going to testify under oath.

4. This is different

Trump thinks he sounds 100 per cent believable when he lies, and the more someone says he doesn't, the more he will think he is. He just stuck his hands in a chinese finger trap, but a special kind that only works on his stubby little fingers.

5. "...on his stubby little fingers"

Nice!

I'm rethinking this post, but for now I'll let it stand. Yes, it could well be that the man is so delusional and arrogant to think that anything he says under oath will be treated as Gospel. Maybe just like Two Corinthians?

6. Wasn't it Hannity who promised to be water-boarded on TV to prove it wasn't really torture?

Oh Hell yeah!

Well, I think he later claimed his words were "taken out of context".
