what they did or did not do. what he has not said is the connection between the two is there enough evidence to say that or is he holding back we don t know. but there are no charges against trump associates with the fundamental issue that we re looking for. right now they ve all gotten themselves tongue-tied over their inability to tell the truth apparently but we don t yet know what they re trying to cover up tongue tied and indicted. couple consequences here. and wearing orange jump suits. you track the lies you and i have had conversations about this sort of inane nature of little lies. these are big lies they re shockingly similar they re all telling the same lie. and there s nothing else that unites jeff sessions, robert stone, george popolopodus, paul manafort, and we re led to believe by congressman schiff s statements, donald trump jr. they all lie but big things, contact communications with an american adversary, russia
topic. your colleague, congresswoman jackie speier said she believed donald trump jr. lied to your committee on at least two occasions. do you agree i would like the special counsel to have access to don jr. s testimony and determine whether it is evidence of false statements i think and i greatly appreciate the seriousness with which the special counsel takes lying to congress. so i will let bob mueller be the judge of that. here s reporting of some believe the lie may be question, did you have any involvement in this potential deal in moscow donald trump jr., like i said i was per riffably aware of it but most of my knowledge has been gained as relates to hearing about it over the last few weeks. i think a lot of people surmise cohen s testimony where he said he briefed the family 3 to 10 times contradicts that testimony. i think beyond don jr.,ly speak to him in a second, but i think there are a whole lot of
