    It is not clear to me at all what he’s answering. Several people are yelling, including one person asking the Russia question over and over, Trump and one of the other yelling people are trying to end the meeting, and during all this Trump shakes his head and quietly says no at some point.

    With all the horrible things he’s unambiguously done the last few days, this is so unclear I wouldn’t put much emphasis on it.

    Nonsense. He says “no” to the question. She asks follow up questions and in the end he answers with that incoherent little rant about how “well we’re doing.”

    Somewhat OT, but still on the subject of liars, here’s your next Supreme Court justice:

    Asked at an American Enterprise Institute event in March 2016 if he could think of a case that deserved to be overturned, Kavanaugh said: “Yes.” Asked if he could specify a case, Kavanaugh first responded: “No,” prompting laughter from the audience.

    Hahahahaha. It’s funny because they know he means Roe v. Wade (and hell, maybe Griswold v. Connecticut while you’re at it), but they know he can’t say it because one day he may get nominated to the Court and have to testify that gosh, he’s never really thought about whether Roe v. Wade should be overturned, I mean, he’s personally pro-life but you know, stare decisis is really super duper important and all that but on the other hand there are always exceptions like Plessy v. Ferguson was bad law, so you never know but I can’t prejudge a case and I’ve certainly never ever ever expressed an opinion on overturning Roe because it’s totally normal for an adult who’s been through law school and a couple of decades of a legal career to never think about one of the most famous cases in modern Court history.

    The crowd laughed because they knew it was a game. Kavanaugh’s gonna commit perjury, and Susan Collins will pretend to believe it, and isn’t that hilarious! Checkmate, libs!

    It certainly fits in with other things he’s said so it would not be surprising at all. I just didn’t think it was clear.

    It’s being claimed the reporter said he was looking right at her as she said no, that she’s sure he was answering her. If that’s the case, then that clears it up. It would be nice to get a first-hand report.

    She gave one on Twitter. I’ll look for it in a bit but first there’s more on this McFaul-Brower item.

    Getting a lot of questions about my exchange with @realDonaldTrump today.

    Yes, he was looking directly at me when he spoke.

    Yes, I believe he heard me clearly. He answered two of my questions.
