We do. He just digs in a lot harder and starts spewing made up "facts" about things like paid protesters, "real" Americans, how liberals are the actual ones committing all of the violent crime in the country since the election, and tries to make us believe that most Trump supporters aren't lazy, obese trailer trash from Mississippi. It'd all be funny if he didn't have like 34 rifles.

If it makes you feel better he cannot utilize 34 at the same time should he turn violent. Guns don't work that way.

This is exactly why lawyers won't work with him.

like, if you're a lawyer, you work as hard as you possibly can to prevent your client from taking the stand. it's not something you want to happen at all, especially in a case like this.

now imagine your client goes on national TV and says "I'd love to testify under oath"

That's only partly true. In some cases you want or need to have your client take the stand- especially in self-defense murder cases & sexual assaults, especially when children are the alleged victims because the jury needs to hear it straight from the defendant. In depositions, your client must testify.

It is true that you generally want to protect your client from opposing counsel, in a prosecutorial context they have a lot of tricks & tactics ("implied consent" & admission by silence come to mind).

It is also well known that some clients very often mitigate, withhold information from their own counsel, omit potentially damaging facts and sometimes just outright lie.

Trump is a goddamn nightmare scenario for any attorney: too proud by half, prone to over-extending himself, and mired in bad acts. Clients like these often will not heed the advice of counsel, then blame their attorneys when things do not go their way.

Did Trump even really say he'd go under oath? His response is so loving incoherent, I don't know if he actually understood the question

quote:

100 percent. I didn’t say “under oath,” I hardly know the man, I’m not gonna say “I want you to pledge allegiance,” who would do that, who would ask a man to pledge allegiance under oath? I mean think of it, I hardly know the man, it doesn’t make sense. No I didn’t say that and I didn’t say the other.

Yeahhh. Multiple people pointed that out. It's not like you can duct tape those all together and fire them all at once or something. If you see someone dragging a giant sack of guns down the street and you only have 2 guns, it's not like you're now at a disadvantage.

If the senate committee doesn't have a politely worded request to appear before them to testify at the White House within the hour, then they're not doing their jobs.

Something like, "Mr. President, we are delighted to take you up on your offer to testify. Is June 20th okay for you?"

Teikanmi posted:

It's been iffy, but I've been hoping he does since if Mr. Three-Scandals-a-Day is taken down the by the republicans before the year is out then the democrats will lose a lot of the momentum they have at the moment. Better that he clings to things for a while longer and prevent things from getting done than letting someone who can actually move their agenda forward in.

Owning more than a few guns is basically a big "I'M A BROKE BRAIN" sign similar to someone who purchases 50 real-currency mounts in some stupid online game. They think that each one they add makes them cooler but really to anyone who doesn't stockpile they exact same pointless macguffin it just makes them look more and more deranged.

There is an exception I guess if you're the type who not only owns a bunch of guns but also some form of firing range or other facilities with which the various guns actually get regular use in a professional manner. But your garden variety retard basically just pays several hundred dollars a pop to store dangerous items unsecured under mattresses/literally in a pile because those weapons are their sole sense of self-worth.

High five for using "macguffin"

But yeah he uses his gun stockpile as a "look how tough and dangerous I am compared to all of you" thing. You know, like when a little kid screams "shut up or I'll get my big brother to beat you up." Shows you how brave and manly and tough they are, right?

It would be so easy to bait Trump into perjury . Just fawn over him for 10 minutes, and make one compliment saying he's slightly less than number one and let him correct you. "Trump, your inauguration crowds were enormous. Fox news reports you had the second highest turnout of the last 4 inaugurations."

this is exactly correct - you cannot actually demonstrate that a lot of what he says is false for the very same reason you cant really say any of the word salad is true for a given practical situation- but you never have to actually demonstrate truths because theres much less scrutiny applied to his nonsense speech when not actively looking for untruths

effectively, by saying nothings (that sound like somethings) you can inadvertently convey what people interpret as truths while avoiding most falsehoods

lol US law doesn't really work that way.

You can't just invoke the "Nah Nah I'm Not Really Touching You" law and have it apply. Like, I can't go into a store and say "It would be a shame if something "HAPPENED" to your store if you didn't give me some money" and get away with it because I threw up some strategic air quotes at the right time.

Most of the time Trump gets away with lying because it's not really worth the time and effort to call him out on stuff - that's been his M.O for years. Now though, his words are actually under a lot of scrutiny and he just cannot handle it. He's unable to realize that all of his statements are public record and subject to a hell of a lot of official attention.

Trump said he was willing to testify under oath during a press conference, he won't be weaseling out of that because he's a lovely speaker. (He may just ignore it and act like it never happened, but the most likely way Trump ever actually gets under oath is against his will anyways; it'll be Mueller forcing him, I think.)
