Truth isn’t Truth

Maybe Jerry is actually Rudy Giuliani, he is making a very similar argument over here.


First there were "alternative facts", and now Rudy has another winner.

VOX “Truth isn’t truth”: Rudy Giuliani offers a new explanation of why Trump shouldn’t talk to Mueller...   Chuck Todd’s response: “This is going to become a bad meme.”




Why do these folks fight so hard against just saying... Yes Trump Lies Often...  We knew he did and still elected him....  This is nothing new.

Now here is a statement I can agree with...

"Former Fox analyst Ralph Peters: Fox viewers have 'utterly skewed view of reality'


Every time I watch it I have to wonder how they get by only telling half of the story. But I guess their viewers are happy listening to only their view of the story.

Here is some truth.

Those in the Trump orbit who've faced criminal charges:
* Trump's personal lawyer (as of later this afternoon)
* Trump's campaign chairman
* Trump's deputy campaign chairman
* Trump's WH national security adviser
* Two of Trump's foreign policy advisers

Looks like the "Witch Hunt" found some more witches...

They seem to be doing a good job at that, though I wish they would find one that did something with Russia directly...

I mean learning that Bill Clinton got a blowjob from Monica was interesting but was it worth that much time and money?

I think you're missing the larger picture. Mueller is proceeding slowly and deliberately, because he knows that everything he does will be viewed through a political lens. I would argue he's established a pretty strong foundation so far.

The first part of that foundation is showing that Russians were up to no good in the 2016 election. So far, Mueller has delivered indictments of 25 Russians (12 of whom are intelligence officers) and 3 Russian corporations. Additionally, he has one guilty plea from an American who used stolen identities to set up bank accounts on behalf of these Russians.

The second part of the foundation is showing a web of connections between the Trump team and Russian-connected interests. Michael Flynn pled guilty to lying about his contacts with the Russian ambassador. George Papadapolos pled guilty to lying about his contacts with Russians and Russia-related folks. Rick Gates pled guilty to financial crimes including laundering money from Russian and Russia-related sources. Paul Manafort was found guilty of 8 counts of the same financial crimes.

This sets up the potential third piece of the investigation which would tie those two strands together. And, of course, there's the substantial evidence of obstruction of justice to deal with as well.

And the Michael Cohen revelation -- that Trump directed illegal payoffs to hide damaging information just days before the election -- isn't Russia-related, but could very well show up in articles of impeachment.

I agree and am patient.

The walls of the room are moving in.
