Newest Wrinkle - Did Trump Lie to Mueller?
2019-11-19
[BBC] “Did the president lie?" a House lawyer said in court as he requested files from the special counsel's inquiry. Congressional impeachment lawmakers are reportedly scrutinising the president's statements to Mr Mueller on WikiLeaks.

Mr Trump did not testify in the Mueller investigation, but he did submit written responses to some questions from the Mueller team.

During Mr Mueller's testimony before Congress in July, he was asked whether Mr Trump's incomplete written responses showed he was not always telling the truth. Mr Mueller replied: "I would say, generally."

It is unclear what exactly Mr Mueller meant by his response, except he was not too lucid at that time but Mr Letter told the court on Monday he believed it meant the president "had been untruthful in some of his answers".
He believed? Or did he hear it from somebody's cousin who said his Aunt Hillary told him?
US media report Mr Letter may have been referring to whether Mr Trump lied about contacts with WikiLeaks and knowledge that they were going to publish hacked Democratic emails.

#14  March along, sing our song, with the Shitshow of the Fools
Count the nuts, count the sluts, who have dunked us in their pools
We’re the Shitshow and proud of our name
We’re the Shitshow and proudly proclaim

Verse: First to fight for the woke,
Of our Nation make a joke,
And The Shitshow Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Shitshow Goes Rolling Along.

Refrain: Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Shitshow's on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!)
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Shitshow Goes Rolling Along.

Verse: Hurricane, Mueller's ranks,
Hillary and Nancy’s skanks,
And the Shitshow went rolling along
Twitter bots, spreading lies,
Putting blinders on your eyes,
And the Shitshow keeps rolling along.
(refrain)

Verse: Men in tights, chicks with dicks,
Still that Shitshow got the clicks,
And the Shitshow went rolling along.
Faith in Gaia, 'til we’re mad,
Fight for dear DC-abad,
As the Shitshow keeps rolling along.
(refrain)

#12  THE EVOLUTION OF IMPEACHMENT

1. Emoluments Clause: too nerdy, long, hard to grasp. Also, no evidence to support. So...

2. Collusion: easier to grasp but not actually a crime. Also, no evidence to support.

2. Collusion: easier to grasp but not actually a crime. Also, no evidence to support. Next:

3. Treason: easier to grasp, definitely a crime but the exact opposite of Trump's extremely anti-Russian, confrontational foreign policy actions. Then:

4. Ukraine: not easier to understand than Russia ties, but hey, no evidence to support Russia, so why not change the field? OK, so...

5. Quid Pro Quo: see #1. Also, no evidence to support. oops...

6. Bribery: much easier to understand than #6. But no evidence to support. Oh f--- it all, what the hell....

7. Liar Liar Pants on Fire: easy for morons and kindergarten children to understand. Of course, no evidence to support.

#8-n: Rinse and repeat

#5  This will be the thing, every time Trump is found to be innocent of the charges a new accusation will surface. It will be like this until the coup end.
