God drat, he has no idea what corruption is, let alone how it effects Romania. "Despite the long history of friendship with America we still have a lot of corruption!" "Yes, but American businesses are going there so *shrugs* can't be so bad." *facepalm*

in any other time a sitting president accusing the (recently) former head of the FBI of perjury would dominate the news cycle for MONTHS we're in such a loving wacko dimension that editors are going "'trump accuses comey of perjury' is the best we've got? slow news day." i honestly just cannot get used to this sort of poo poo also how on earth could a law firm still represent this man? him going under oath would be absolutely the worst possible thing right? what the gently caress is wrong with trump's brain that he thinks it would end well? what hand does he think he's holding?

As bad as I'm sure he'd loving lie through his teeth while in a hearing, I don't think it could possibly make him look any worse than he already does. The best it does is increase Democrats' chances of taking the House and holding firm in the Senate.

Trump directly saying Comey lied is actually a much bigger deal. Republicans can't get away with justifying his behavior now because one of the two of them is lying. Trump didn't just not know better: he did it and lied to the public about it, or he didn't do it. So either Comey, the guy who is honest to a fault to the point of admitting to the Senate that he leaked his memos, or Trump, the guy who ordered his press secretary to lie on his very first day about very obvious facts observable with the naked eye, is a liar and they're going to be asked which one. That's, uh, not a great spot for them to be in.

Why else would he constantly respond to 'THERE MIGHT BE TAPES' with 'Ahaha, god please yes.'

https://twitter.com/chucktodd/status/873259620663480320 i can't decide if there are tapes and his lawyers explained how bad that would be to admit, or if there are not tapes and he didn't even mean to imply there were but now that he did he can't admit defeat on even the tiniest point

I think the better explanation is that the media won't ever use the word liar, unless reporting on someone who did. So by saying it himself, he gets his statement reported accurately.

Help me understand, if Mueller subpoenas trump, does the president have an option of whether or not he testifies under oath? Or is that another thing the president gets to skip out on if he chooses?

Option three is that they're actually stupid enough to try to release partial tapes or in some way destroy evidence. I don't think we can rule it out at this point considering how colossally bad their legal strategy has been.
