If Trump lies to all of us, why not lie under oath?

I can't see being under oath making any difference to Trump. He will lie no matter what. I think he even lies to himself all of the time.
 
There's no difference between lying in a speech and lying under oath? Ummm.

I don't see this thread really going anywhere.

Lying under oath isn't enough to get you convicted on impeachment. See, generally, 1998-99.

If lying to oneself, it would probably not be actionable or at least not criminal, to speak untruth.

Don't worry about it since Trump is NEVER going to testify under oath before the Special Counsel since it would open him up to anything the SC decides is pertinent and relevant and that could well be his finances which Trump will never be truthful about.

True. I imagine what he lied about might matter. I would hope so, at least.
 
I didn't say that there was no difference, what I said is that he will lie no matter what.
 
Should the media be prosecuted for their blatant lies?

Comey unlikely to judge on obstruction - CNNPolitics.com

CORRECTION AND UPDATE: This article was published before Comey released his prepared opening statement. The article and headline have been corrected to reflect that Comey does not directly dispute that Trump was told multiple times he was not under investigation in his prepared testimony released after this story was published.

So they made up a bunch of bs...Were on the opposite end of correct and what?....Nothing.

An obama appointee pretending to be a reporter no less.

Shameless.
 
Trump is an habitual and pathological liar. News at "11.00"

My guess is that Trump has lied under oath many, many times and is quite experienced at it.
 
I think this is stipulated by both sides. No need for a thread.

Clinton would not have been impeached if he was a GOP, as we're seeing with GOP behavior now.

Hillary would already be impeached and forced to resign without conviction based on GOPs bringing government to a halt.

Now we know another reason GOPs want to get rid of the 17th .

Probably experienced enough to beat a polygraph, being a congenital/pathological liar .

The difference is called perjury .

I think comeys had enough.

By the end I half expected a Kathy Griffith......"He broke me!"

Perjury is a bit much to pile on.

So true. This is just another lie. His whole life is a lie. He isn't comfortable telling the truth any more.

trump isn't breaking anyone or anything except this nation and its people. His own voters will suffer the most from his signatures.

The GOP smear machine is normally enough for any mere mortal like Comey. It says a lot when the RNC is running smear hit ads on Comey before his testimony which will continue .

Do you feel that you have wasted near ten months of your life pursuing an evidence free lie the media cooked up and fed to you?

Per comey...Trump isnt and wasnt under investigation.

I honestly dont think it will make much difference. Only the sane people are backing off now. I never thought I would view chris matthews as sane.

He will probably be strung up as a traitor to the cause.

Who would those same people be?

Do you always agree with Matthews, or just when he agrees with your position?

Have you heard the chameleon's many positions since the one you agreed with ?

No. He agreed with me. Not me with him. My position always remained based on evidence(Or lack). He started with faith and moved away when brought to earth, held down, and evidence thrown in his face..

You can easily google the several hundred proven and documented trump lies .

That it should be easy to name one.

But the best you will do is to quote something he honestly got wrong, purposely being taken out of context, or at worst a flamboyant exaggeration.

There are no deliberate lies like "You can keep your Doctor" or "Benghazi was caused by a video".

:roll:

As if all of that can't be turned around.

Peddle your hyper-partisan gaseous emissions elsewhere.

What is your feeling on the honesty of Obama? Clinton?
