Fox Host: How is Trump Supposed to Testify to Mueller Knowing He Can't Tell a Lie?

[kpete]

Outnumbered host Dagen McDowell wondered how Trump could consider speaking with Mueller, implying that the president would have a tough time avoiding any false statements.

“How in the world could he ever cooperate and sit down with Mueller for an interview knowing that if you tell one lie to Bob Mueller, he will move to file charges?” she said during Monday’s show.

McDowell also suggested Mueller was laying a perjury trap for Trump, hoping he’d slip up eventually.

“From the outside looking in doesn’t it look like increasingly that the Mueller team is setting a trap for the president if he decides to speak with them them?” she asked.

1. The truth is so mean.

It's totally unfair to republican liars.

2. it's amazing how they clearly assume donnie is guilty as hell, and they're fine with that.

the obvious answer is:
a) if donnie is innocent, he can make truthful statements clarifying events in a way that clears himself, thus avoiding an unnecessary indictment; and
b) if donnie is a witness to the possibly criminal actions of other people, he can make truthful statements that help inform the decision as to whether or not to indict those other people.


but of course, everyone just assumes donnie is guilty as hell and that mueller's sole focus is on indicting donnie, which very clearly, very demonstrably is *not* his sole focus, and never has been.

3. Honesty is more foreign to him than Russian intereference.

4. Part Of The Negotiations

One of the conditions they want, is to allow Drumpf to lie if he feels the need to. They want to make sure Mueller won't pursue perjury charges if Drumpf happens to LIE a couple or 100 times during the interview.

6. Ridiculous

Burn 'em all at the stake.

5. I dunno. Ask Bill Clinton.

Republicans had no problems forcing him to testify.

[Chemisse]

7. Is she aware that most people can talk and not lie while doing it?

And that if you don't perjure yourself you can't fall into a perjury trap?

8. It's always fun when a Fox-bot inadvertently tells the truth.

9. "Asking Trump to testify about ANYTHING under oath is an unfair perjury trap!"

10. What a preposterous BS-circle that group is.
