Showing Original Post only (View all)Chris Matthews picked up on something very interesting about Cheetolini's therapy session yesterday [View all]
Matthews...discerned something revealing about Trumps answer to reporters questions in the East Room of the White House. And Matthews put it into historical context.
Whenever answering (or dodging) inquiries about his campaigns involvement with the Russians, Matthews said, Trump used phrases like to the best of my knowledge and I dont recall to deflect questions without quite denying them.
Matthews compared Trumps weasel words to those of Alger Hiss, an American who spied for the Soviet Union during the Red Scare of the Cold War.
Those are ways to avoid perjury, Matthews said of Trumps word choices. Theyre not truth-telling, generally.

Matthews also said the press conference was "manic" - like listening to a guy on a couch explaining his problems to a shrink.
