Junior lied. He got caught in it. He told the truth after - even released the emails. People lie for a reason, sometimes not for good reasons. Maybe he thought it looked bad even though he thought nothing bad happened. It's a reason to lie. It's a lie though.
You keep trying to paint me as someone who is only concerned about lies from the Trump side of things. That's simply not the case. I'm concerned about people who want to run the country or people who run the country who lie to us. You're trying to make it sound as if that's not my concern. Of course you probably need explicit verification of that, just like you need to make sure that people who identify themselves as Christian are reborn before your own eyes. I'm not the one being unreasonable. If people lie, I think they should be called on it - regardless of their political affiliation. If people abuse their power, I think they should be held accountable. I also think that we are a nation founded on the ideal that people are innocent until proven guilty. Investigate the things that need to be investigated. If there's sufficient evidence, charge them and try them. I'm really not interested in hearsay and slanted, partial stories. Figure out what happened, who did wrong, and do something about it.
I don't want to get into a pissing match with you over this mule_eer but you're lying now IMO. That remark you made about Christians is NOT my position and if you don't know that by now there's no point in me explaining it to you any further as I know I have in the past. So I'll just leave that where it belongs--in your head.
I do respect you wanting to get to the bottom of whatever happened here, but I see you like many on the Left essentially excusing the mountain of damning evidence all pointing toward Hillary and Dems regarding any real "collusion" and still insisting Trump is actually the one here caught with his pants down and tongue forked.
No way.
So I'll just leave it at agreeing with you that we really do need to get to the bottom of this and prosecute the liars, lawbreakers, and leeches who tried to subvert our Democratic electoral process in favor of raw political power.
The Left's entire meme since Trump's upset election is that he was illegitimately elected...that he either cheated or somehow "colluded" to steal the election from Hillary against the will of the American people.
That is an outright lie and I have yet to hear you condemn it so I'm skeptical of your sudden determination to get to the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth in this entire affair. You know
that's not true (Trump cheated to win) and your silence over calling that out as a lie confirms my suspicions about your overall sincerity in determining who actually was doing any "collusion" during the last election cycle?
However, I will take you at your word that you are indeed bothered by what we still do not know about what actually went down here, and once the guilty have been identified, prosecuted and punished, I will join you in celebrating that Justice was finally served here and thankfully done for the good of the Country.
