TRUMP - Four strikes and you're out: the only testimony we should accept is LIVE and SWORN.

[kpete]

1/ Trump said he'd give answers on all topics. He lied. He said "any time." He lied. He said he'd give answers face-to-face. He lied. When he finally answered on narrow topics in writing, he lied. Four strikes and you're out: the only testimony we should accept is LIVE and SWORN.

1. We're dealing with a congenital liar and hardened career criminal

1/ Trump said he'd give answers on all topics. He lied. He said "any time." He lied. He said he'd give answers face-to-face. He lied. When he finally answered on narrow topics in writing, he lied. Four strikes and you're out: the only testimony we should accept is LIVE and SWORN.

2/ FUN FACT: If you're the *average* American and you swear on national TV multiple times that you have the world's best memory, you get impeached (the legal term for being discredited) *every time* thereafter, for the rest of your life, if as a witness you say you "don't recall"

3/ I am *livid* at the notion he's spooling up his cowardly and deceitful Lucy-and-the-football "I'll testify, honestly!" routine again. But I'm *not* surprised. When you let a hardened career criminal face no consequences for perjury, he will perjure himself over and over again.

4/ As for me calling him a hardened criminal: he's been lying under oath in civil depositions for decades, and we even have video evidence of him doing so. And when he lies, he lies about *crimes*. And we have decades of witnesses who say he committed fraud or theft against them.

5/ At some point, those senators who've represented hardened criminals as lawyers need to say publicly, "This man's history as a career criminal and serial perjurer is clear, and he'll be treated accordingly. We'll not pretend his offers of testimony are ever made in good faith."

2. He lies because it works for him and there has never been any consequences for it.

He is the president and a billionaire thanks to his lying.
Why would he ever stop?
