And nails him. there's something that was told to me, when we were doing the case against proposition 8, which was to establish marriage equality. one of the lawyers says to me, you know, you can say whatever you want on television. but the minute you go into a courtroom and you put your hand on a bible, and swear to tell the truth, you have to tell the truth. that's the reason why this president, who is a pathological liar, is not going to talk to robert mueller. he is incapable of telling the truth, but at a certain point, he's going to hit the wall where the truth and reality are going to c...
