Despite Trump saying he feel vindicated, he still doesn't like being called a liar, and is willing to testify under oath that he never asked for loyalty from Comey.<br />http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/09/politics/trump-news-conference/index.html<br /><br />I imagine Trump is saying this because it is easy to talk but he doesn't really mean it. That is, if he's under oath you imagine he could be asked all sorts of things, including things that are not private conversations, but things that might be verified in the future as not true.<br /><br />So I imagine the way this will work, if someone takes up Trump's offer is he'd want a guarantee he won't be asked anything he doesn't know ahead of time, and when that isn't agreed upon, he'll refuse to follow through.<br /><br />But why did Trump ask everyone to leave the room and talk alone? Will he deny that as well? What was his intention of that private meeting? And why did he tweet after firing Comey "James Comey better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"<br /><br />Who says something like that, unless he has something to hide! Certainly Trump should be allowed to testify, under any conditions of his choosing, just in case giving him enough rope will help him hang himself. Many republicans surely would also wish this.<br />Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-54988983803564869662017-06-09T14:22:08.658-07:002017-06-09T14:22:08.658-07:00I personally don't think Trump is reckless, st...I personally don't think Trump is reckless, stupid, or self destructing in his statements or tweets. As a matter of fact I think he is using a variation of Mao's "Let a thousand flowers bloom" gambit and I think the left and the media are walking right into the trap.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-67355580675469729282017-06-09T11:30:12.942-07:002017-06-09T11:30:12.942-07:00You especially, Ares.

There's a difference between being a puppet and being a stooge.<br /><br />I think the best narrative of the Russian interference is to sow doubt. Russia expected Clinton to win, so they worked to delegitimize Clinton with fake news stories, and tried to hack the democrats emails to embarrass, although strangely they were not able to hack Clinton's private server, only the DNC.<br /><br />If Russia was interested in showing America was no better than Russia, they only succeeded in helping elect a single representative of the worst traits in our president himself, while the fact we can have an independent FBI that can investigate the president shows we're NOT like Russia. And even if the president can fire the FBI director to try to stop investigations, the exact opposite happens, investigations expand.<br /><br />The paranoid right who call this partisan only because they are partisan, and see what they want to see.<br /><br />Trump has denied he asked for loyalty from Comey, and we all know that is a lie. We know it because we know Trump's character. He is self-confessional about everything, admits he lies, but only after there's nothing anyone can do about it. Drain the swamp? No, that was just a lie to get people to cheer.<br /><br />If Hillary Clinton was elected, and she was going to fire Comey unless he promised loyalty, and he refused, and she fired him, and his "memo" of that meeting was leaked, the right would say that's proof of Hillary's bad character.<br /><br />But if Trump does that very thing and lies about it, its because Comey was out to get him, and Trump was just defending himself.<br /><br />Partisan thinking is a joke. It makes us all self-blinded fools.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-25627994579811288362017-06-09T07:39:07.056-07:002017-06-09T07:39:07.056-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ares Olympushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726811306826601686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12016119201399686702017-06-09T07:37:32.861-07:002017-06-09T07:37:32.861-07:00I have the impression that he's shot himself i...I have the impression that he's shot himself in the foot.
