I am sure his legal team will be briefing him to not make such statements under oath where perjury is a very real outcome.

Show quote history

Like that's going to stop him if he thinks he can get away with it. And he always thinks he can get away with it.

Although I do have to say that perhaps, just perhaps, with all his legal 'failures' there just may be a new day dawning in Trumpland and he's starting to wake up and smell the covfefe.

I'm still waiting for Melania to post somewhere "Donald Trump? Why, I hardly knew him".

As far as I remember he didn't know E Jean Carroll at all, according to him. Hadn't even met her. This in spite of photographs of them together.

He doesn't know Anthony Pratt either now

As well as never having met Jeffrey Epstein.

So he's trotted out the old 'I barely knew her' line. What else is new? Or maybe I should say 'watt else is knew?'.

Just found this thread. Looking forward to catching up!

Didn't he "barely" know Jean E. Carroll.

Now is probably the best time in US history to hire a good attorney. Team Trump certainly seem to have tied up all the crap ones.

I want it to go to Sessions for no other reason than that I shall get the gigglies every time a read that Sessions did this or that about the session. (I know nothing about him at all.)

As far as the Speaker race and its NINE candidates, I'm reminded of the old baseball program hawker's spiel; “Programs, programs, get your programs here! You can't tell the players without a program". Because I sure has hell don't know who is who other than a couple of names.

Would speel chock help, though? Unlike covfefe, stollen is a word.

If you can spot a misspelling in a Trump post then it's not for you. (It also stands as a test that a post hasn't been edited by AI ...)

Spandauer · 23/10/2023 09:08

"STOLLEN"
Does he not know how to use spell check? This isn't the first time. Perhaps he's already looking forward to Christmas or a couple of slices with his covfefe?

He's also denying the other orange-haired guy from Australia. All that money and no access to good hairdressers 🤷‍♀️

As predicted on this thread, Trumpy pretending he doesn't know Powell !

2020 :
I look forward to Mayor Giuliani spearheading the legal effort to defend OUR RIGHT to FREE and FAIR ELECTIONS! Rudy Giuliani, Joseph diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, a truly great team, added to our other wonderful lawyers and representatives!

Today:
"Sidney Powell was one of millions and millions of people who thought, and in ever increasing numbers still think, correctly, that the 2020 Presidential Election was RIGGED & STOLLEN, AND OUR COUNTRY IS BEING ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED BECAUSE OF IT!!! Despite the Fake News reports to the contrary, and without even reaching out to ask the Trump Campaign, MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY, AND NEVER WAS. In fact, she would have been conflicted. Ms. Powell did a valiant job of representing a very unfairly treated and governmentally abused General Mike Flynn, but to no avail. His prosecution, despite the facts, was ruthless. He was an innocent man, much like many other innocent people who are being persecuted by this now Fascist government of ours, and I was honored to give him a Full Pardon!"

😂🤣😅

NINE GOP candidates for speaker.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Republican Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson, RSC Chair Kevin Hern (Okla.), Reps. Byron Donalds (Fla.), Austin Scott (Ga.), Jack Bergman (Mich.), Pete Sessions (Texas), Gary Palmer (Ala.) and Dan Meuser (Pa.)

PALMER a new name.

What was that definition of insanity again ?

He's probably not very valuable as a witness anyway. He's even less credible than Powell. Plus he's definitely a bigger fish to fry.

An excellent day podcast to listen to is Prosecuting Donald Trump. Its got two former US department of Justice prosecutors who break down every twist and turn. They've got good chemistry and are pleasant to listen to.

Rudy is so deep in legal and financial trouble, I'm amazed he hasn't flipped already.

See, this is kinda the way I'm feeling. I certainly don't think of him as a particularly 'loyal' person, so I wonder why he hasn't moved to save his own skin.

So I'm wondering if there's some reason he hasn't either been offered a plea deal or his own offer has been rejected in the GA case. Maybe his involvement is so diabolical that the prosecution would rather see him in prison. Or maybe he simply isn't offering up enough or the 'right' information.

Because I certainly don't see him as the "I will never desert my Captain! We will die together" sort of person.
