THE Nixon Administration has developed a new language—a kind of Nix-speak. Government officials are entitled to make flat statements one day, and the next day reverse field with the simple phrase, "I misspoke myself." White House Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler enlarged the vocabulary last week, declaring that all of Nixon's previous statements on Watergate were "inoperative." Not incorrect, not misinformed, not untrue—simply inoperative, like batteries gone dead. Euphemisms notwithstanding, the Nixon Administration's verbal record on Watergate is enough to turn ardent believers into skeptics. Some examples of "inoperative" statements from Administration officials...
Nixon also said, "I am not a crook", in case there was any doubt. Trumpm says no collusion. History repeats itself.

So we now have the Lying Cheating Don.

Nixon: "People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. I've earned everything I've got."

I am going to award myself a BAM, spirit of Nixon lives.

Quote:
As president, Donald Trump has uttered more than 4,000 falsehoods or misleading statements. And the spokespeople and advisers tasked with squaring Trump's version of reality with actual reality must often contort themselves accordingly. Early in the administration, this meant Kellyanne Conway talking about how the administration had “alternative facts.” Later, it was Sean Spicer explaining that he didn't “knowingly” lie to the American people.

On Sunday, they tried a couple of new tacks: asserting that “facts develop” and saying that the president “misspoke” — while saying something he has said dozens of times.

Judge holds Roger Stone associate in contempt for refusing to testify before grand jury in Russia investigation. Andrew Miller, a former aide to longtime Trump confidant Stone, had fought and lost a court battle to quash a subpoena from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to testify to the grand jury. Earlier this month, a judge issued a 93-page opinion saying Miller must testify.

This could be the tipping point in the Mueller investigation. If Roger Stone is involved, chances are it is NFG.

This is a developing story and will be updated.]
Lock him up sounds just about right.

'Mueller subpoenas Randy Credico...'

More rats are being forced into the light, apparently. Roger Stone must be getting worried.

^^ His attorney is even telegraphing the intent. What is it with attorneys lately, they simply do not want shut up anymore.
Quote:
Stolar said it's unclear exactly what Mueller's team wants to question Credico about.
"My speculation is that they probably want to talk to him about Roger Stone and Julian Assange," Stolar said.
