Trump is his own walking perjury trap at this point.

He literally has no choice.

He has told so many lies about so many things, that silence is his only defense.

But his own record will slowly be exposed, by Mueller and the coming House investigations.

As I told many of the people that I represented in over 30 years as a union rep, the problem with lying is that if any facts come out the lie will be revealed.

And we are seeing this right now.

But like most liars and crooks, Trump can only blame others for his own problems.

we are reinforcing one of Giuliani’s more ridiculous notions.

There is no such thing: one is either telling the truth to the authorities or one is lying to them. To suggest it is a trap is to assign nefarious intent to those doing the questioning.

One either tells the truth, or one engages in perjury.
