Thursday

and spilling information i public about an "investigation in progress" - they they "were re-opening" because of "new evidence." I don't doubt that that was full of untruth, but in any case, it was presented so as to imply a boatload of untruth. But it wasn't to Congress - it was to the American people. I do not remember him lying to Congress specifically. Perhaps someone will refresh my memory.

If Trump's handpicked attorney tried three times to get an indictment from a grand jury and couldn't, it's because there is no case.
