Exactly. He's the most dishonest president in modern history; the chance of him not perjuring himself are zero.

I think he will do OK as long as he doesn't answer any question other than: "What is your name?"



And the famous, I don't recall, answer we heard so many times years ago

"America will never be destroyed from the outside,
if we falter and lose our freedoms,
it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
Abraham Lincoln

No that's not what I'm saying at all. There's many documented situations where people have gone in completely innocent and got caught up because their memory can't remember exactly what's happened 20 years ago or 5 years ago or 3 years ago and remember what they said. And then they nailed him on the differences of what they said. And it has nothing to do with what is being investigated.

First, why are they going to be asking him about what happened 20 years ago, or 5 years ago, or 3 years ago? They're investigating events surrounding the campaign. Pretty sure they'd just decline to answer anything they felt was outside that scope.

Second, why do you think the Republican Special Investigator, working for the Trump appointed Deputy AG, is so desperate to nail Trump that they'd try and prosecute him for not perfectly remembering something from the distant past? If you think that Trump is such a terrible leader that he's already made the people in his own party hate him that much then there's not much hope for the rest of his presidency, is there?

You really need to expand your news sources!

Educate me.

Why has Republican Mueller joined a Democrat conspiracy to frame Trump?

Why did Trump appointed Rosenstein choose a Democrat stooge to investigate Trump?

Why did Trump nominate a Deputy AG so disloyal and/or incompetent?

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

From the NYT:

=============================
President Trump ordered the firing last June of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel overseeing the Russia investigation, according to four people told of the matter, but ultimately backed down after the White House counsel threatened to resign rather than carry out the directive.

The West Wing confrontation marks the first time Mr. Trump is known to have tried to fire the special counsel. Mr. Mueller learned about the episode in recent months as his investigators interviewed current and former senior White House officials in his inquiry into whether the president obstructed justice.

Amid the first wave of news media reports that Mr. Mueller was examining a possible obstruction case, the president began to argue that Mr. Mueller had three conflicts of interest that disqualified him from overseeing the investigation, two of the people said.
==============================

Now THAT is obstruction of justice, and that's the reason they can't afford to let Trump testify.

"President Trump, did you order the firing of Robert Mueller?"

"Yes." He goes down for obstruction of justice.
"No." He goes down for perjury.

Of course trump can't testify. The whole performance yesterday where he said "of course I'll testify". Is just part of prepping the battlefield. trump and his hard core supporters in the senate and Fox will be lambasting the FBI as dishonest Hillary supporters for the next couple months. Biased and out to get him.

When the time comes for the real interview. It will be he can't testify because its will be a Hillary hatchet job on his agenda. With a deep state corrupt FBI at the point of the spear of socialism.

You forgot to mention that the guy (Comey) that Trump is so eager to discredit is also a lifelong Republican.

IIRC (which I do) he promised on more than one occasion, on video, that he would release his tax returns.

It gives a sense of how credible his promises are.

Sean Hannity: Fake News, Fake News, Fake News.

Hannity is quite possibly the most odious right wing commentator out there now.

Don’t get me wrong, there are several other who are nastier than he is, but I can’t think of any others who purport to be serious and rational yet operate with such unrelenting hypocrisy and blind partisan loyalty.

Agreed.

I look forward to RushMC and the Russian bots in the coming weeks starting the Twitter meme #LETHIMTESTIFY. "Why won't the Democrats let Trump testify? Why are they blocking him? They're afraid of the TRUTH!"

[billvon 2,463]

Hannity: "They have a story that Trump wanted Mueller fired sometime last June. And our sources, and I've checked in with many of them, they're not confirming that tonight. And the president's attorney dismissed the story, and says, “Nope, no comment. We're not going there.” And how many times have the New York Times and others gotten it right?"

Paraphrase: "He didn't do it."

A few minutes later:

Hannity: "So, we have sources tonight just confirming to Ed Henry that yeah, maybe Donald Trump wanted to fire the special counsel for a conflict. Does he not have the right to raise those questions? You know, we’ll deal with this tomorrow night."

Paraphrase: "OK maybe he did do it but it's not a big deal."

Coming up next: Nixon did it first.

[SkyDekker 1,150]

Funniest part is that Hannity accuses the Democrats of wanting to create some kind of diversion. Then when it turns out to be true, they throw in a car chase and crash.

never mind the metaphor of crashing while running from authorities...lol

Nah. They'll go after Mueller directly and try to discredit the entire investigation on extremely tangential grounds, would be my bet.

You keep saying that. You must know something everyone else doesn't. Let me guess, you watched Hannity and he told you the secret?
