Trump: "A friend of mine, who's an attorney, said "Did you know this call would be..."

...subject to scrutiny, because this is a perfect call!"

Earlier today. Nicolle Wallace just played the clip.

Amazing how his attorney friend also saw the call as "perfect."

4. This perfect call, but we can't read the transcript?

All we have thus far is a heavily barbered readout of the call, not an actual transcript. Isn't it weird how Trump is keeping the transcript of this totally exculpatory, perfect phone call away from everyone? He could stop this problem dead in its tracks by releasing the transcript, yet he doesn't do that. Strange!

6. We are way past believing anything that the say happened

We know that from Barr's fantasy of what the Mueller Report said. Anything they claim they said in a so-called "transcript" is not acceptable. We want the unaltered recording of the entire call. Nothing else.

. . .Remind me of when I worked in a call center.

Of course, so much in his his life is "perfect". The cake served at his resort comes to mind.

8. Right next to his tax returns, medical records and so much, much more...

EVERYTHING Trump says is a lie...EVERYTHING!

Start from that premise and he makes much more sense than the usual rambling, incoherent mess that he is...

Tax returns?
School transcripts?
Medical records?

pshaw...not likely to EVER get any truth from him on anything.

Perfect call? Why does he keep saying that? He sounds like a pro wrestling villain.

11. "Perfect" is a legal term of art used to describe telephone calls and letters.

We use the phrase sparingly, solely for situations where the speaker cannot be faulted in any way for anything, ever.
