Why do they continue to lie right up to the moment they are discovered lying??

Now we find out that Ivanka sat in Putin's desk chair in Moscow, after we were told there were no Russian connections? And we find out that Donald was dealing with Putin, after he won (stole) the presidential election, to make a big business deal with a huge Trump tower in Moscow? And he lied about it. And Ivanka was silent about it. She lied with her silence.

How much more is there to know? It is obvious that the Trump family is not going to say anything until the truth is discovered by the "fake" media. Now we know why he calls them the "fake" media, also.

It seems to be a genetic trait in the Trump genealogy to be perpetual liars. Seriously! And like RKP5637 Aug 2017 #2

Ya know, our mistake started with W and Gore.

Because dems put the needs of the country over the needs of the party, we give up when if it were in reverse, they would NEVER EVER give up, NEVER stop contesting.

I think the famous 4 states he (trump) allegedly won, he did not. I think the proof is out there, too.

that those four states were stolen, with the help of Republican governors.

They also feel they are not guilty since they have gotten away with it their whole lives. Also, they believe they are above the law or their actions are not wrong since they are special.

Narcisstic defense mechanism. The whole family was raised this way and so was Jared. She married her father basically.

Many people will say just about anything to prevent being caught in a lie or from having their opinions debunked .

Only the latter can get you convicted.

Or are there fraud laws that apply here?

There's always two or three burgeoning sociopaths in my cluster of 150 students. They lie--usually vehemently denying charges of cheating or stealing right up to the point when they're confronted with evidence--sometimes even after. They're sociopaths. It's what they do.

Why should the mental teenagers running the Republican party be any different?
