Fox host asks how Trump is supposed to talk to Mueller if he can’t lie

How is it even fair that Trump can't lie under oath?

Trump’s latest tweeted confession that he lied about the purpose of the 2016 Trump Tower meeting now has his supporters worried that he could end up lying his way into a perjury charge.

In a Sunday tweet, Trump admitted that the purpose of his campaign’s 2016 meeting with Russian agents was to obtain “dirt” on Hillary Clinton — not to discuss adoptions, as Trump initially claimed.

On Monday afternoon’s edition of “Outnumbered,” Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano patiently explained the sort of legal jeopardy that Trump and his son could face over the Trump Tower meeting and the subsequent coverup.

Trump, Napolitano explained, is “worried about his son because his son testified, under oath, that this was not about dirt from Hillary, and that his father didn’t know about it — and there appears to be evidence to the contrary.”

Then, “Outnumbered” co-host Dagen McDowell made the incredible claim that special counsel Robert Mueller is setting a “perjury trap” for Trump — just because Trump is a serial liar who probably can’t even stop himself from lying under oath.

“How in the world could he ever cooperate, and sit down with Mueller for an interview, knowing that if you tell one lie to Bob Mueller, he will move to file charges?” McDowell asked.

“He could not tell a lie,” suggested Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov. “That’s always an option.”

1. Goodness, that is a quandry.

2. "He could not tell a lie, that's always an option"

Trump is no George Washington... not only is he a chronic liar, he's a criminal beneath all those lies.

[jcgoldie]

4. Yeah

For Donald Trump I do not believe that's an option.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. It Should Be An Option

For most people it would be. Not in this case.

[Girard442]

3. Its called being mentally ill, folks.

It's getting harder and harder to for anyone to pretend not to see that the Emperor has no clothes -- functioning brains rather.

[DFW]

5. That's actually an easy one

Just make it a precondition that the only subjects Trump will discuss are golf, girls and the McDonald's menu.

[babylonsister]

6. He lies about girls, golf, and

I don't know about McD's.

[DFW]

11. I'm sure he'd find a way.

Why make an exception for them?

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Better Not Ask Him What His Handicap Is

That would be a lie, for sure.

[DFW]

12. Knowing him

He'd probably get all huffy, saying his doctors had checked him out, and he has no mental handicap whatsoever--which would have about as much credibility as anything else he says.

[dsc]

21. he means golf handicap

[DFW]

22. But I didn't

😛

[Fred Sanders]

10. Fox sure does know the average IQ number of its audience...and stays below it, always.

[Nitram]

9. Very good question.

Republicans know he lies impulsively and they don't care.

[2naSalit]

16. Unless it means he'll be removed from office.

[ooky]

19. Well, they are liars too, so.

[gibraltar72]

13. They never even thought of that option.

[calimary]

14. And that's the bottom line, right there.

They’ve never had to. Til now.

Because this ruthless lying manipulative bunch, starting at the top, has never been held accountable til now.

[NoMoreRepugs]

15. To lie or not to lie.... that is the question.

[gibraltar72]

18. Not really it's to lie or lie bigger.

[NoMoreRepugs]

20. was going for a derivative of to be or not to be actually

[gratuitous]

17. Compare and contrast

Trump can't be interviewed by Mueller or his investigators because everyone knows he'll lie his pasty white ass off. Hillary Clinton goes before a remarkably hostile congressional committee and answers every question put to her for 11 straight hours, live on teevee, and nobody lays a glove on her.
