Apparently Trump is going to apologise for the "Britian First" retweets

He didn't know, "I didn't know, didn't know" that the retweets were from a racist group.http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/26/donald-trump-apologi...

'under oath' is already being back tracked.
It's unimportant though.
If he is in front of the grand jury he'll be under oath.
If he's just talking to the fbi he won't be.
Lying to the fbi is a criminal offence regardless.
He'll backtrack - use the taxes excuse. "I'd love to show you my taxes but I'm not allowed"It's unimportant though.

Lying to the fbi is a criminal offence regardless.
In this case it'll be "I'd love to talk to Mueller as I've nothing to hide, but the lawyers won't let me"

Interesting, Trump ordered Mueller fired but the WH counsel threatened to quit over it so he back tracked.

This is the first one thats confirmed. It was reported that he tried a few times, usually after a rant, which included pressuring sessions to interfere.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/us/politics/tru...
Obstruction anyone?
I think Trump thinks that McGahn works for him, but he actually works for the office of the president. As McGahn has been present throughout everything, Mueller could use him as a witness about the obstruction, Comey's firing, the pressure for Congressional investigators to drop their investigations, the attempts to stop Sessions from reclusing himself.
If McGahn goes, then Trumps lost that bit of control he thinks he has. Trumps firing of Mueller may well be another obstruction crime, so he didn't back off when told that, only when McGahn threatened to resign.
Remember this all happened way before Mueller delivered any Indictments, before any stories that people were flipping on Trump
And as for the lying. Several times last August there were denials that Trump had ever tried to sack Mueller.
Hannity meanwhile last night
Sean Hannity: The New York Times is trying to distract you. They say Trump tried to fire Mueller, but our sources aren’t confirming that! Sean Hannity, minutes later: Alright, yeah, maybe our sources confirm Trump wanted to fire Mueller. But so what? That’s his right. Anywho...

That's not the point. Even though he hadn't got a clue who the group was or what they represented, he went ahead and posted the links anyway.
That's his fundamental problem - he shoots from the hip without thinking - because he is incapable of thinking.

Interesting quote from that article...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/20/fake-ar...
“
The Article said:
He believes his own lies in a way that lasts for decades,. He’ll tell the same stories time and time again, regardless of whether or not facts are right in front of his face.”
Sounds vaguely familiar......Byker28i said:

As far as I understand it, Trump doesn't have attorney client privilege with the White House legal team either - so they can't hide behind that.Gameface said:

The claim that the donald was having another affair currently.
What's the claim? Not seen it.The claim that the donald was having another affair currently.
But then, I'm often surprised.
If I heard the excerpt from his interview with Morgan correctly (it was early), Trump seems to have admitted to having no idea the Britain First stuff he retweeted was from Britain First, or any idea what Britain First is, at the time he retweeted it. I'm not sure this kind of lack of due diligigence/thought/care before acting is really a trait that should be demonstrated by the leader of the most powerful nation on earth.

Trumpettes can pass all this off, but it's obvious this president is open to blackmail (and has paid out) over his infidelities.

Jessica Drake accused Trump of offering her $10,000 for sex the same year he allegedly slept with Daniels, but she also has a NDA. Wonder how much that cost?
4 days before the election the National Enquirer paid $150,000 to a former Playboy model for her story about Trump, then just sat on it, again an NDA in place.
Trump campaign paid £130K to Trump Business on 21st December 2016. We know the donald likes getting others to pay...
He has a habit of using campaign funds for his own purposes, paying legal fees etc. Any way he can really to get that cash to himself, which has continued with his campaign rallys after the election. He's milking his followers.
FEC filings shows that the Trump campaign spent more than $55,000 buying Trumps book Crippled America: How to Make America Great Again, so sending campaign money back to himself, a good way to launder the campaign cash.
The book copies were given to delegates at the Republican National Convention.
The Trump foundation was also prosecuted for self dealing, just paying out to the trump family, settling their bills.
