It brings up several interesting points. First of all, it details efforts by his legal team to keep him from having to perform under oath, which any reasonable person would find suspect.
Second, it goes on to point out that Mr Trump is likely to have trouble under oath, because, as has been shown to be demonstrably the case, the man is fundamentally incapable of either accuracy or honesty in his statements.
If a person is to lead a nation like America, that person has to be beholden to the same rules and social expectations as the rest of the population, otherwise, what you have is some sort of pseudo monarchy, which for rather obvious, constitutional, historical reasons, would be totally unacceptable to most people in that nation. Therefore, there is no reason for the President to get a free pass, and be able to avoid providing his person for the purpose of being questioned under oath, since any other person required to do so by a court order or summons directly from an AG, would have to so appear. There is no reason that his words, under that oath, should be treated any differently than the word of anyone else, nor that consequences for failing to be honest and accurate, ought to be mitigated by the fact that the person in question occupies high office of any kind, leave alone the office of the President of the United States.

Seems OP has triggered peeps in the Pit, must be on to something.
I agree, BTW, he will perjure himself nine ways til Sunday and yet fully and passionately believe every word he is saying. Because he's mental.
I will be shocked - shocked, I say - if he is actually interviewed in person. The ensuing fall out would be too crippling to good governance and national security.
I suspect all of DC is trying to figure out a way to uncouple Trump from the Presidency as painlessly as possible, and that includes Trump himself.
The singular catch is trying not to alienate and stir up his kool-aid drinkers. They're desperately needed for the mid terms and 2020.
I’m not even a fan of Trump and i can see the effort of those who would exagerate his flaws to the point that they demonize the guy. He is a goofy #, who says some stupid #, but people who hate him will go to even worse extremes to make him seem worse than he is, and rational people see this and then see that he is not being treated fairly. That will be the issue that garners him more support that will bring fence sitters to his side.

If it weren't so tragic, I'd be rolling on the floor laughing. What has happened to these once reasonable people?
It's as if we're seeing a real-life invasion of the body snatchers scenario. These people are in a stupor.
Any Trump supporter should be scared about him testifying under oath. What we're seeing in this thread is complete denial in my opinion.
It's denial of Trump's mendacity. It's denial of Trump's situation. It's denial of an apparent conspiracy to remove Trump from office.
Trump's supporters are his worst enemies right now. They're literally abandoning him when he needs them most.

I would give a million stars for this post if I could.
I suspect Trump will fight to the end. Narcissists usually never give up. Losing their delusions is losing who they are.
Been saying for months? You've been here for 2 weeks.

I think you should stop trashing ATS with pointless threads every 10 minutes and get some sleep. As far as predictions go I predict nothing will happen just like all the other predictions of a Trump’s demise.
Do you need this news from a conservative source?
thehill.com...
Is that better?
This is what I've been saying for months is the climax of the Russian investigation...Trump testifying under oath. I believe the entire thing may have been a conspiracy to get to this point.
The moment he swears "to tell the truth", they've got him. They know it.
I can see why you're lashing out. This is the most substantive issue I've raised here. Your true colors are showing.

I can't tell you how many threads I avoid just based on who authored them. Take a page out of that book. Then you never have to resort to telling other people what they should and shouldn't talk about. Just avoid those threads. Win win just a suggestion I'm not trying to tell you what to do. You'll stress less.

I think that far from getting a free pass before the President of the USA can be compelled to testify there needs to be a crime that he is accused of committing. Can you name the crime that he is accused of committing?
Otherwise, it’s just an open ended witch hunt and I believe that is not a good enough reason to compell his testimony regardless of his political affiliation.
