    Why is the President's lawyer reassuring us abt what the facts published to date show and not the actual evidence? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/at-least-nine-people-in-trumps-orbit-had-contact-with-russians-during-campaign-and-transition/2017/11/05/07c9993c-bf4c-11e7-959c-fe2b598d8c00_story.html?utm_term=.811cef008d83 …pic.twitter.com/QNnCOXan23

        Remember earlier this year, "no one on my campaign ...". New goalpost is "not 45 himself, *as far as you know*"?

        Lying's an ethics violation for lawyers. Sure does sound like a lawyer looking to his own future. Doesn't belie optimism about his client's.

        Nah, sounds more like he's stating a narrowly crafted truth. It might even reflect knowledge that evidence exists of further ties.

        A lie's knowing statement of a falsehood. Reading this, I suspect he knows something that he's bending that verbiage around to avoid lying.

        (1) looks like he's knows something fishy; (2) and trying to avoid lying about it; which (3) which suggests he expects it'll out in the end.

        The fact that tRUmp uses cutouts will not protect him. Those cutouts will continue to squeal to save their own pelts.

        Maybe because facts that have not yet been published will show otherwise? #TrumpRussia

        Trump calls: Do this. Lawyer: OK. Among his many crazy faults Trump thinks if something is said out loud it becomes fact.
