Whoa. Trump drew a line in the sand.

[kpete]

Whoa.


He had better hope Mueller doesn't have something that contradicts these denials or that's all she wrote.

@amandawgolden
CNN Exclusive: President Trump told Mueller in writing that Roger Stone did not tell him about WikiLeaks, nor was he told about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting between his son, campaign officials and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton https://cnn.it/2Qo9ZRT

1. Sure moron

[WeekiWater]

2. Even putting space between himself and family. Nice. NT

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. You know tRump is lying, the dirty SOB.

Mueller certainly knows the true answers and these aren't those.

The fallout should be interesting.

[Stuart G]

4. Yes, the "fallout should be interesting" indeed. very interesting... 3 boxes please..

...thank you..

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Help yourself, my dear Stuart G! It's my pleasure.

[orangecrush]

33. Happy belated birthday!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Aw, thank you, my dear orangecrush!

[Cirque du So-What]

6. Perhaps Stone informed tRump with the help of Lil

[hurl]

41. +1

One of my favorite movies!

[Cirque du So-What]

44. Here's the clip for those who are unfamiliar with it

[GusBob]

7. So. What sort of evidence may Mueller have to contradict these claims?

Shit DT was crowing about Wikileaks during the campaign and hinted that dirt was coming on HRC shortly before the TT meeting. These were public statements

Dying to know the evidence

[PJMcK]

9. See my post below (n/t)

[gratuitous]

8. Trump's former lawyers have testified under oath

One of his bankruptcy cases, Trump's lawyers were deposed and testified that they adopted the practice of sending two lawyers to every meeting with Trump because he was so untrustworthy, and they needed two people to verify what he said. I don't think Trump has gotten more truthful in the meantime. Let's see if Trump is as good as his (written) word.

[BSdetect]

10. None of his lies ever convinced sane people.

[Marie Marie]

28. The problem is, HE is not sane and he has convinced himself of his lies.

He begins to believe his own bullshit if it fits his narrative or desired outcome.

[volstork]

31. It's a problem for him,

but definitely not for Mueller.

[Marie Marie]

32. True that.

[PJMcK]

11. The blocked phone number

Junior made a phone call immediately after the Trump Tower meeting to a phone number that was blocked. Trump is known to have had a blocked number.

How believable is it that Junior wouldn't call Daddy right after the meeting?

The dots are connecting.

[Jersey Devil]

22. How stupid are they that they didn't use prepaid throwaway cell phones

for stuff they surely knew was illegal?

[Guppy]

27. I would think with a search warrant

you get that number.

[bluestarone]

29. Surely they (Muellers team) did come right out and ask JR. if that number

was his father right? So IF he stated no then Bingo (perjury). Did Jr. deny this? If he did,i did not hear this.

[PJMcK]

39. I don't think Mr. Mueller's team has interviewed Junior

Junior did testify before a Congressional committee where he claimed he didn't remember who he called after the Trump Tower meeting, (the blocked number).

[bluestarone]

43. OK Gotcha TY

So he wasn't asked a direct question if it possibly be his father right?

[jcgoldie]

12. All she wrote

Seems like in Trump's case that was "all she wrote" many times but she just keeps writing...

[Pepsidog]

18. Sadly you are correct.

[BamaRefugee]

23. EXACTLY. Same headlines every day since he was inaugurated! "TRUMP PANICS" etc. STILL HE PERSISTS!

[C_U_L8R]

13. Don't believe your lyin' eyes and ears

[marble falls]

14. He just made a liar out of Don JR, who said eventually his dad came up with the cover ...

story for that meeting.

[sdfernando]

15. What is that saying???

"A good prosecutor never asks a question they don't already know the answer to" Is that it?

Well Robert Mueller is better than a good prosecutor, he is effin amazing!

[LudwigPastorius]

16. If I remember correctly,...

Stone has been interviewed by Mueller, whereas Jr. has not.

I doubt Stone implicated Trump, or said that Trump had knowledge of Wikileaks or the Tower meeting.

I think this info, about how Trump answered these two questions, was leaked by Trump's team to get Donny Jr. "in line" should he ever have answer those questions. Trump's lawyer's have to assume that Jr.'s phone and email are tapped.

Leaking the "correct" answers to these questions to the media may have been the only way to signal him how to answer without getting caught in a conspiracy to cover up the collusion.

[FakeNoose]

19. Maybe so, but I'm sure Mueller has already traced Jr.'s phone records

Does it matter what he says now? He'll say he didn't call his Dad of course. But the phone records and emails say something different.

[blugbox]

21. During his congressional testimony, when asked if any of the phonecalls were to his father...

He answered "he didn't know"

He didn't know who he called? Or did he just not inherit his father's genius level intellect and can't remember?

Of course, any of these answers are shitty lies. He knows he called daddy.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. But even if he did call d****** he can always say

It was about something else though right? I mean he could just say he invited him over for dinner. From what I understand people don't know exactly what time the meeting occurred? Like they know when the call occurred but they don't know what time the meeting did. Ergo, it could be before or after.

[Mr.Bill]

35. Mueller has interviewed most if not all

of the people who were in that meeting. He knows what time it began and ended.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Weird that someone on news said yesterday no one

Knows. But you r right. If they have phone records and interview respondents

[LudwigPastorius]

42. "Does it matter what he says now?"

I doubt it. But, after Trump realized that Mueller asked Manafort questions he already knew the answer to, he freaked out and wants someone to back up his written responses (which are probably lies).

As you say, there are phone records and emails. Don Jr. is going down for conspiracy, and Trump will remain an unindicted co-conspirator until he is out of office.

[spanone]

17. we know every other word out of his mouth is a lie...i suspect the same applies to his pen.

[The Liberal Lion]

20. The problem with the denial of sir orange is that

Cohen, Guiliani and Nunberg all have indicated or hinted that indeed trump knew about the meeting. He even went so far as to dictate trump jr's statement on the matter.

We all know trump is lying, it seems like trump doesn't realize we all know he's lying, or he simply just does not care.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

25. Interesting how he specifically says Stone didn't tell him

About WikiLeaks. It could have been someone else. No, I take that back it was someone else.

[samnsara]

26. wasnt too smart saying he answered them all himself

[SHRED]

30. He said "to the best of his recollection"

These are weasel words for legal wiggle room.

[Kablooie]

34. If Mueller has rock solid, written proof that Trump is lying....

Republicans will yawn and ignore it.

Rule of law and the Constitution means nothing to any of them.
The only thing of importance is protecting the party by denying any Trump scandal that is exposed.

There's no way Trump will be held accountable for anything until after he leaves the presidency in 2020.

I can appreciate the exposés but I have no faith they will do anything to decrease Trump's power.

[efhmc]

45. Yep.

nt

[Mr.Bill]

36. Basically, Trump was given a take-home test

and given months to complete it, and he still will get an F.

[malaise]

40. That is all she wrote

That is all
