DOJ: Trump Lied

https://www.lawfareblog.com/justice-...t-trump-speech

It isn’t every day that the U.S. Department of Justice acknowledges formally that the President of the United States lied in a speech to Congress. But that’s how I read a letter I received a few days ago from the department’s Office of Information Policy in connection with one of my Freedom of Information Act suits against the department.

No, the Justice Department letter does not come out and say what it clearly means: that President Trump, early in his tenure, was untruthful both about the role of foreigners in terrorism and terrorism-related crimes and about Justice Department data on the subject.

But that is what the letter says if you read between the lines.

President Trump has made 4,229 false or misleading claims in 558 days

The Lying Dotard is now lying at a 7.6 lies/day clip. On July 5, the president reached a new daily high of 79 false and misleading claims. If he worked 8 hours a day (he doesn't, unless you call watching cable news work), that would be a lie every 6 minutes.

It was hilarious to watch his liar of a spokeswoman, Huckabee-Sanders try to bullshit her way out of that whopper. She tried to make it sound like Trump was talking about buying booze. smh.

Found this gem of a response in a WaPo Comments section.

I cannot imagine what self proclaimed evangelical Christian Sarah Sanders says to herself when she looks in the mirror, nor what she says to her God when she prays. Real Christians don't lie over and over again to protect another practiced liar who lacks any moral compass, has flagrantly and repeatedly committed adultery during all three of his marriages, bragged about assaulting women, not only is a bigot, but incites bigotry in others, cruelly bullies, imitates, denigrates, humiliates, and insults others, and who has no core values of patriotism or honor. Oh, but that's right, he's president because God ordained it. Astounding.

What a direct, honest and accurate campaign ad from this TX congressional candidate. Sadly, he didn’t win his primary. Sadly, moronic Trumpkins won’t understand a word he’s saying. Whell, don’t even bother.

Truth, facts and decency have a liberal bias.

So this man arrives in heaven, and walks up to Saint Peter

Behind whom are a million clocks, upon a giant wall.

“Can you tell me what they’re for?” “Each is a lying meter,”

Responds the world’s first pontiff, outside the hallowed hall.

“Each measures truth and falsehoods when a living person speaks,

And for each lie he tells, the hands advance a single minute.

The Dalai Lama’s hasn’t budged once in a thousand weeks.

And for all I know, Malala’s might well have cobwebs in it.”

Indeed, some clocks were inching on, some seemed to barely run.

“Is there one for Donald Trump?” asked the puzzled man.

Saint Peter smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked that, son —

The Good Lord keeps it in his office — it’s his ceiling fan.”

Trump wrongly blames California’s worsening wildfires on water diversions

Total freaking moron. As is anyone stupid enough to still defend him.
