A from the people that brought you the notion that truth isnt truth, heres something new. Crime that isnt crime, noncrime, by the way that President Trump says he never committed even though at least some of his argument is undermined by his own voice on tape, and the surreal little nugget is part of the picture as the president and his people spin the reality that two more of the former associates are felons and one of them Attorney Michael Cohen tied him under oath to pair of crime.
