Did anybody else catch this from today's press conference, about Flynn?

Q: Did you direct Mike Flynn to discuss sanctions with the Russian ambassador —

tRUMP: No, I didn’t.

Q: — prior to your — tRUMP: No, I didn’t.

Q: — inauguration.

tRUMP: No, I didn’t.

********************************************************************
tRUMP: I didn’t direct him, but I would have directed him because that’s his job.

No, I didn’t direct him, but I would have directed him if he didn’t do it. OK? Jim?

This sounds like someone who has lied about something and is now making inroads that he may have done what he said he hadn't done, because it would be okay because of XYZ.

Only, it wouldn't. Treason is still treason.

1) His arrogance. He believes he is above the law and and anyone else who ever walked the Earth. Pride goeth before a fall.
2) He is a compulsive liar. One of his lies is going to be prosecuted when it comes to national security or something of great importance. If he is ever called ot testify under oath, it is a sure bet that he will lie about something. He can't help it and his arrogance will make him think he cannot be held to telling the truth if he feels like lying.
Does the word perjury ring a bell?

For him, believe him, not you.

Arrogance ? You have to be, to be SO successful.

Liar ? Fox News says he isn't lying, that it's the "left" who are lying.

The good news is, we don't have to convince all of them, just 3 or 4% of those who wanted a change. Bet they didn't expect this much of a change !!!

He got a lot of votes from people who voted for Obama twice
Those are the people that will peel away first (My Guess)
The anti-Hillary crowd (some are in the voted Obama twice group), but aren't conservatives will be next

Hillary stand again, a young person with little baggage would be my preference.
