Washington (CNN)The House of Representatives is now investigating whether President Donald Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday.

"Did the President lie? Was the President not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" House general counsel Douglas Letter told the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit about why the House now needs access to grand jury material Mueller collected in his investigation.

1. "Did the President lie?"

(Insert remarks about the excretory habits of ursine mammals and the religious beliefs of the Bishop of Rome)

[RKP5637]

5. To him, lies are truth! And factual truths are fake! n/t

[aggiesal]

10. Is he talking? ...

Then he's lying.

[lagomorph777]

27. Or in this case, did his lawyers write down his responses? If yes, then he was lying.

[MurrayDelph]

18. Or the aqueous protection

in the anal region of various avians, amphibians, and semi-aquatic egg-laying mammals (of action).

[RKP5637]

2. Good! I don't trust anything the MF'er says, and I'm sure not alone! n/t

3. Does the President have conveniently selective amnesia?

We may never know.

[cstanleytech]

13. I suspect he actually has Alzheimer's.

[lastlib]

14. Or possibly rublonic plague.......? Common among associates of Vladdy Daddy.

[lagomorph777]

28. Rublonic Plague

Interesting that the symbol for Rouble looks like "P for Putin."

[Qutzupalotl]

32. Or Pence/Trump

[lagomorph777]

35. I still can't believe they released that logo!

[elleng]

15. This was in WRITTEN responses,

presumably somewhat 'studied,' so it's likely deliberate LIES (imo.)

[Qutzupalotl]

17. Exactly. I think his lawyers coached him to lie

to say he could not recall anything he did that was illegal.

[elleng]

19. If THAT's the case, the 'lawyers' subjected themselves to all sorts of 'problems!'

[ewagner]

23. He used the magic (weasel) words..

"...to the best of my recollections"...

" ...I have no independent recollections of....(insert statement, incident or something read into evidence here)..."

Those cannot be disputed except in special cases.

[aggiesal]

29. Those cannot be disputed except in special cases. ...

Like indisputable documents or testimony from decorated 1st level sources?

[Qutzupalotl]

31. Yes. This leads me to believe he was coached specifically to cover up criminality. n/t

[ewagner]

33. Smacks of being "Roy Cohn-osh" n/t

[IronLionZion]

24. Dementia

[Grasswire2]

4. open it all up

Let justice roll down.

[UpInArms]

6. Did trump lie?

Does a bear shit in the woods?

[aggiesal]

12. The 2nd half of that story, that's never told ...

So a Bear and a Rabbit were taking a dump in the woods.
The Bear asks the Rabbit, "Does your $hit stick to your fur?"
The Rabbit responds, "No, why?"

The Bear then picks up the Rabbit and wipes himself clean.

7. Another count of Obstruction of Justice

Trump is going to be impeached end of story. Hopefully enough proven information will be
there that even the Republicans in the Senate will vote to convict him. One problem is that
the # of GOP Senators who took Russian/NRA money.

[beachbumbob]

8. This is directly impeachable offense.

[BigmanPigman]

16. Isn't tnat what Clinton was nailed for too?

[crickets]

20. Yes. Yes, it is.

[beachbumbob]

22. Technically it was perjury in a civil suit.

Trumps is lying to a federal official. Way worse.

[doc03]

9. That is a no brainer he can't tell the truth

period.

[Arthur_Frain]

11. Now I'd wear a t shirt that urged folks to read THESE transcripts

But of course we know that these are going to be kept under lock and key. I suppose you can chalk that up to another one of the things that innocent people don’t do, hide EVERYTHING!

Transparency my ass, but it should be becoming clear who is on one side, and who is on the other. I wish people would make a note of this, who stood for what. The names of those complicit in this attempt at authoritarian-izing our nation should be immortalized on a bronze wall of shame for as long as the bronze will endure.

I’m not much for the Bible, but I’d go for some biblical style shunning of their seed for 7 generations too.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. I'll save you trouble.

Yes he did.

[wnylib]

25. As the Republicans repeated endlessly

It's about the lie.

Or in this case, the multiple lies.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. Guess what the House would be doing if we had not WON IT BACK!

[world wide wally]

30. i can save then tine on this one

yes, he lied

[bluestarone]

34. I can see it coming

He will throw his lawyers under the bus! Hear him now, "they made me do it" "They made me do it"
