telling mattis kill him. and he put down the phone and said we re not going to do that. let s get the senator into this conversation. oh, thank you. i m glad the president didn t talk to bob woodward. if there s a strategy of keeping him away from talking to bob woodward, the staff did a good job of not giving him access. just like it would not be a good thing for him to talk to bob mueller. why? rick santorum, he has nothing to hide. why not explain that? it s not about having done anything wrong or improper but being caught saying one thing and having facts that show that what he said isn t comporting with the fact. isn t english for that a lie? the president has, as you knowa propensity for hyperbole and exaggeration and not necessarily squaring things with the facts.
