But he wasn't asked, you see. Gotcha!
Even though he was specifically asked in a general way in order to require disclosure. It's perjury.
Ok, this is what I thought, but wasn't as on top of this as I am on some stories so wanted to make sure. I think its pretty obvious that he isn't fit for the job, especially given that his role is the ****ing AG.
I'm not sure it will result in anything, but its ****ing ridiculous that they all ****ing interacted with Russia and then lied about it.
The one thing that has me hopeful is some speculation that Trump will be very upset about this ruining his good news cycle from the speech and being talked about instead of more praise for him.
