No wonder his lawyers are so concerned about him having to testify, he seems fundamentally incapable of telling the truth.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Will be funny when GOP starts saying perjury is no big deal. Then immediately sad.
They've already said that, what are you talking about? And that's was during Iran contra.

No shit because he's a mob puppet. And naive America is to dumb to see organized crime using the street and stupid mentally restricted, poor and incorrigible people to do their dirty work
Fuck up Americas Mafia. Giuliani never really cleaned crime up in NY, he joined/got owned by it. Now look what we got going on.
Americas never going to change if Americans keep their heads in easily manipulated, paid for marketed media, and politics.
Quit relying on people that can and will rape your life if they need to.
Rudy pushed out the Italians and invited the Russians in to fill the vacuum.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that perjury? At this rate, Trump really could commit murder in public and never see jail.
Perjury is complicated to prove.
The concern is making him into the martyr that he's made himself into.
His supporters will not be fed anything factual about the events.
Perjury is complicated to prove.
That's depressing, but thanks for pointing it out. When the presiding judge states that your sworn testimony is untrue, I would have thought that was enough.
In this case, it wasn't his testimony but his defense as to why he didn't violate his gag order for a second time. I'm not strictly sure if you can perjure yourself in your defense for such a situation, but either way it was the judge just not buying his excuse.
I want to know why we care about them at this point. They sent their best and brightest on Jan. 6. I remain unimpressed.
Perjury is only for statements made under oath in open court, and as noted below it's hard to prove that someone knew they where lying.
Liar is found to be lying.
Color me shocked.
Is that like a yellowish-white color?
I'm picturing Pikachu lightning...
I'm thinking more parchment maybe?
“Referring to the thing trump said which was hollow and untrue…”
“Do you realize how little that narrows it down?”
sums up him quite good, would add petty and craven sociopath
