He's guilty of perjury and lying to Congress.

I doubt the people around him will let him do it.

THAT'S what's nuts here...if any of them had any sense at all, they'd be jumping ship before this thing goes down.

Still, you'd think their friends and families would be begging them not to make history as one of the people who helped to destroy America. Do NONE of them have a voice of reason anywhere around? Holy hell.

On another note, I had to suffer through a phone call from one of my customers yesterday who proudly called himself a deplorable. He told me about a trip he is taking to NYC next week for his daughter's wedding...he said he was going to wear his MAGA hat and have his picture taken in front of Dump Tower. You have no idea...it was all I could do...

From Trump university, the molestation, to his tax returns, to colluding with Russia etc... Trump being Trump will lie his * ass even about things easy to prove as true. After he does that then the fun begins.

Of course his lawyer is not going to let him anywhere near a congressional hearing under oath and we all know it.

He can't take an oath because the act of taking that oath would be a lie. Worthless.

It is so pathological, I wonder if he knows he is lying or can't help himself or what. Can you imagine being his family member? Living with lies like that must be hell.

not care because even if caught and charged with perjury he would still
be pardoned by Pence or others and his "base" will love him all the more...

So if he does ever answer under oath -- I doubt he'll live that long -- it will be a mixture of lies and can't-recalls. And given our media and lunacy of some Americans, it might actually work.

He got this far with it, didn't he?
