that s all you can characterize me as. in reality the questions that are being asked are open ended and i think jim was talking about the characterization. it s an important word choice. the president isn t entitled to know what other witnesses have said, whether he is corroborating them or contradicting them. that s not the standard for perjury. people can see the same thing differently and not be held accountable for perjury. that s like if someone was in court for a car crash and one said it s green and one says it s yellow, nobody is being convicted of perjury unless there s an intentional act of lying committed so there is a distinction to be made but a perjury trap is such a strong word and the one way to avoid it is tell the truth and not presume that by answering questions as the head of the executive branch which includes the department of justice somehow you are immune from doing that which every other witness is required to do. the president sees it a
but it is a serious sprawling investigation with lots of dots following the money and following the connections. and trump understands that. what has happened with matt whitaker as the new deputy attorney general is that trump acting attorney general. acting attorney general, thank you, is that trump has a spy for the first time who is looking at what mueller has. and he has been, trump, throughout his presidency absolutely in a crazed state because he doesn t know what mueller is doing. now he has a sense of what may be going on and we may be seeing that in this rage hollic behavior. yesterday he wrote about the inner workings. we don t know. we don t know what matt whitaker s been telling him. we do know once again the president is talking about something he likes to refer to as a perjury trap. that s not something they taught
could there be a perjury trap there? not in this case. you heard the talk about they may ask if it s raining or a nice day. perjury is giving intentionally false information on a material fact. so if he wants to commit purnlry, he can do it butted it s not going to be a trap simply by answering the questions. the machines couldn t get done and now thousands of votes in florida are being counted by hand. of capital? what s critical thinking like? a basketball costs $14. what s team spirit worth? (cheers) what s it worth to talk to your mom? what s the value of a walk in the woods? the value of capital is to create, not just wealth, but things that matter. morgan stanley
unnecessary ease of taking this take home test so it begs the question. on the other hand, what he has said in his written response and it s done by himself, will be vastly different than what his attorneys hand in and with good reason. they have to make sure what he is saying is make sure he doesn t step ten feet deep into their own legal jeopardy. that s their job. and the president touting his own skill at answering easy questions may come back to haunt him. all of us know a perjury trap is where prosecutors bring you in for no other ran than to try to trip you up so if they re just bringing you in, that s one thing, this is a very different context jim schultz, what would you have advised the president about statements about bob mueller? would you have tried to check him on the kinds of things he said about mueller being conflicted?
reviewing it would be incompetent. i ve answered the questions myself, no one assisted me, he also threw water on it, saying he thinks a lot of questions were tantamount to being a perjury trap. if you re only telling the truth, why should you even worry about how you could be perjurying yourself? if you re telling the truth, you don t get ensnared in a perjury trap. if so, then speak the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth and get it all out there. it is in my view more appropriate for this president to do questions and answers in quiting as opposed to why? well, the truth is not the same as other people so if he
