From a liar’s perspective, its actually a work of art... which is why it’s so infuriating... Just look at all of the lies packed into a single sentence:
“If we had had confidence that the president had clearly not committed a crime we would have said so.”
1. He is guilty... we just cant prove it
2. I was TRYING to exonerate him and I could not
3. You are guilty until proven innocent
4. The purpose of the prosecutor is to exonerate the accused
These are just the lies embedded in that one sentence.
In context with other things said, this statement contains even more lies.
Well said.
