The idea of catching Trump in a "perjury trap" ... is he really that scared?

The idea of a “perjury trap” only works when you’re talking about someone who appears to be pathologically unable to understand the difference between truth and falsehood.

Every time anyone is put under oath, it’s a “perjury trap” - that’s the whole point of putting legal teeth there, to “trap” those who lie when we obligate them to tell the truth.

This is what we’ve become. A country that can’t trust its leader to tell the truth under scrutiny.

The “new” normal.

Anyone can get caught in a perjury trap. If you have ever been polygraphed, you would know that.

Polygraphs cant be used to prove perjury and Trump’s legal team would NEVER let him take one and Mueller would never ask him to take one.

I agree. Donald Trump should never ever ever ever ever take a polygraph.

He lies like he breathes, he would pass it easily.

What happened to that old conservative mantra that if you’re innocent and nothing to hide, why not sit down and talk?

Hmmm.

Like Hillary did for 11 hours?

Their are going to be NO POLYGRAPHS. This isn’t about some about some 2-bit hood. Well, actually it is, damn.

[theduke]

I’d pay a dollar to see Donald lie for that.

Focus on the topic… not the poster.

Is trump scared you ask? Is trump a liberal progressive twinkie? The answer to both questions are ■■■■ NO. Nice try.

@Cratic3947

ask Martha Stewart…

Yeah! They only went after her because of Trump! Everyone in prison ever is because it’s all been a witch hunt to get our leader!

If I wanted to listen to liberal progressive talking points I would tune into Rachel Maddow or fake news media.

I really love this talking point by Rudy and friends that Trump might get caught in a perjury trap. Rudy just admitted Trump is a liar and can’t tell the truth. So sure, if he’s under oath and he tries to lie, I guess that is perjury. But it won’t be Mueller’s fault.

This whole game of “will he or won’t he” speak to Mueller is a smokescreen anyway. He won’t and everyone knows it – except for Trumpettes, apparently. He has no intention of it.

And they still haven’t figured out that Rudy is not helping him. But hey, keep talking Rudy. Keep opening your big mouth.

When the President is asked a question, if anyone else testifies differently, there’s now a basis for perjury. Here’s the next part…an accusation was made regarding Russian collusion. The intelligence agencies unitedly stated they found no credible evidence to support this accusation. A special prosecutor was formed for political reasons with the purpose of removing the President. It isn’t about ■■■■■■■ Russian collusion. Now…if you have evidence, bring it on. The President is innocent until proven guilty. He can choose not to testify against himself and that’s the right of every American.

Wrong as usual.

Yep. Mueller knows the answers… but so does Trump. The truth is not some big secret, it’s just that trump is incapable of telling it.

Considering the guilty people are the ones who used the Clinton dossier to get a FISA warrant. The investigation into Trump is just a cover up for that…

An investigation of a potential shady Clinton real estate investments turned into a 4 year investigation about some nooky in the White House. And the worst that could be pegged on Clinton was that he lied about it. And EVERYONE had to reupholster their fainting couches because we USED to hold the president to a certain standard.

You guys are not holding Trump to the same standard you held Clinton. I’ve always been consistent that I thought Bill was a pretty good president, but completely lacked moral character. It’s 20 years later, and the right-wing STILL can’t stop talking about Bill’s behavior, but forgives Trump for the same bad behavior.

Don’t be such hypocrites.

So, You think it’s about your party wanting revenge. Still admitting it’s a witch hunt…

You have a reading comprehension problem is that’s what you took from my post. Of course, we already knew that about you.

Hey, if the US government starts an investigation on Russia tampering with our elections and you get caught up in that investigations where your crimes are uncovered then I have no sympathy for you. You’re still a crook.

Did you read the statute? You’ll see why your talking points are worthless if you do.
