    They can’t lie in court, or at least not expect to get away with it, but I’m not sure why they’re not just lying on TV. It’s Fox News Sunday. Tell them he actually blew kisses to the camera as he declassified documents with his mind before showing the nuclear codes to the Saudis.

      Since they know the evidence for it is definite, I imagine they don’t want to say something that will be countered by the courts. At the same time, you normalize it by declaring it without fear in the hopes the voting base will buy that it’s no big deal.

      At this point I can’t imagine Trump’s legal strategy is anything beyond taking power, and then keeping it.
