Here's something that doesn't make sense to me about Giuliani's "perjury trap":

A mouse trap traps a mouse, so a mouse would definitely want to avoid a mouse trap.

A rat trap traps a rat, so a rat would definitely want to avoid a rat trap.

But does a perjury trap trap a perjury? Would a perjury want to avoid a perjury trap?

No, that doesn't make sense. It seems to me that what Giuliani is really worried about is a liar trap. A liar would definitely want to avoid a liar trap.

I hope one of the news commentators he talks to will correct him on that.

If he tells a lie, he's fucked. If he tells the truth, he's fucked.

Because, after Clinton, he won't be indicted or impeached for perjury. He's really worried about a stupidity trap, where Trump inadvertantly admits to a crime, like he did on Twitter a few times.
