Why, why, why---when Trump references "many people", as in many people are wondering

[Atticus]

why the DOJ isn't investigating Hillary and many people are disappointed in the DOJ---can't just one "journalist" challenge him to "name three" of these "many people"? Are we just so accustomed to his transparent and childish lies that we just let them pass without comment or objection? This sociopath CLAIMS to be our president, for cryin' out loud!

1. Agreed, rankles me no end. It's journalistic malpractice by all of them.

[MiniMe]

2. It would be Ivanka, Don Jr, Eric, and Jarred

And maybe Melania

3. Dotard and the repukes get special treatment and a ridiculously low bar

They can do whatever they want with nary a peep from the media.

4. It's pretty common for politicians to speak in general terms

I suppose there are pros and cons to either ignoring it so that he doesn't produce someone who would make the talk show rounds or challenging it and creating another diversion from real news.

[Atticus]

5. I'm not talking about allowing him time to "produce someone". I'm talking about putting the lying

sos on the spot on live TV. Let the country see him sputter and pull more nonsense out of his anal sphincter, his go to source when "facts" are called for.

8. I hear a lot of suggestions

Some want the press to ignore his foolishness and lies. Other people are talking about how anything other than news about Russia that should be ignored. And, I also get the POV that he should be held to a standard we know he can't meet. A lot of possibilities follow. Another story that allows him to play the victim card, whereby he produces and expert to support his claims on the next Fox and friends? Is pretending he knows what he's talking about normalizing him?

I'm not sure of the best approach. I think there are valid points in making an effort to hold him accountable and I think there are other possibilities worth looking at that justify not giving him credit or opportunities for him to engage in his vile SOP.

6. "Here's your 3 people: me, myself, and I"

He won't say it but that is his list.

[gratuitous]

7. I agree

Trump tweeted out that "Everyone" wants Clinton investigated and prosecuted. Let's put some names to that, shall we?

[eleny]

9. It's all the people rolling around in his head - his imaginary friends

..... .....

10. Astounding, isn't it?

Like his claim that the Steele dossier cost $12 m (now claiming $12.4 m), and the 1000 other ongoing tentacles of bullshit that keep getting repeated.

While Cheeto is a malignant pathological liar, he has all the guile of a toddler. You would think that calling him out on his lies would be incredibly easy.

However, I assume the reason that these dullards don't call Cheeto on his non-stop fecal geyser is because they would never again be given an interview, or a question in the press pool. As a result, their value to their employer news organization would them become negligible, and they would lose their job.

11. "People say".....damn it what people

drives me crazy when you give them an in their face retort, "what people" they usually STFU

[David__77]

12. He speak in generalities. This is a bad attribute in my opinion.

"Everyone says".... "people can't stop talking about"... etc.

I think people who do that may be highly irresponsible and bad to be around.

[malaise]

13. Well he'd name three of his multiple personalities

and still have at least a dozen more

[Staph]

14. John Barron,

John Miller and Meredith McIver!

[malaise]

15. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

He has a new one - a seven year old
