...except for his lawyer, who wouldn't let him testify because he'd perjure himself. |

That's what the FBI was hoping for. And would have set up. |

An honest person wouldn't be "set-up-able." Geez. |

+1. There’s a really simple strategy to avoid perjuring yourself: don’t lie. |

Asking the same question in two different ways and it's pretty easy to "get" someone to 'lie'. |

It's even easier with Trump. Just ask him the questions one way and he will lie every single time. Man couldn't tell the truth if he tried. |

Not really. That's a myth. |

No, it's actually not. In order to establish perjury, one of the elements you have to prove is intent. When you have two statements framed two different ways that produce two somewhat different answers, that the answers are different isn't enough, you have to prove not only which one is false, but also that the person knowingly and intentionally made a false statement. That the person told you the truth in response to a different version of the same question would actually undermine a perjury accusation because once someone has told you the truth about something, what motive is there to lie about it later? The willingness to admit would directly undermine a showing of intent to lie. |

Easy to do when you want it to happen. |

No, it's not. A prosecutor can't just decide someone is guilty and convict them all on their own. Perjury is actually prosecuted only very rarely, even when everyone knows it happened, because it's incredibly difficult to prove all of the elements to the requisite standard. |

You are delusional. But we knew that as soon as you typed that you are "pro-Trump".

Why is that no Trump supporter is ever willing to answer this simple question? |

They haven't been told what party line to parrot. |

How gullible are you? Do you ever think critically about what Trump and Fox News tell you, or do you just follow along like a lemming? |
