“Perilously close to lying” translated from lawyer-speak to English is “They’re Goddamned Liars!”

Republican-led Senatorial committee issues a report that is the legal equivalent to “knifing the president in the back,” then immediately say they found “absolutely no evidence.”

“What Senate Republicans are saying about their own report comes perilously close to simple lying.”
~ Benjamin Wittes, editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution

We have now reached the point in the Pink Floyd movie The Wall where Bob Hoskins breaks into Pink’s hotel room, and finding him catatonic, calls for a doctor to shoot him full of whatever will get him on his feet and through the next show.

The perfect followup question for every reporter to ask when an admin member denies Trump was briefed:

Choose one:

Choose:
A. Trump’s a goddamned lying coward
B. Trump’s cabinet is incompetent
C. Trump’s a traitor
D. All of the above.

“Facing strong criticism from Democrats, Trump said on Twitter that neither he nor Vice President Mike Pence had been briefed on the classified assessment. Trump also tried to cast doubt on a New York Times report that said he had been told about the matter.”

“Nobody briefed or told me, @VP Pence, or Chief of Staff @MarkMeadows about the so-called attacks on our troops in Afghanistan by Russians, as reported through an ‘anonymous source’ by the Fake News @nytimes,” Trump wrote. “Everybody is denying it & there have not been many attacks on us…..”
