"...the truth has a way of coming out. The truth has a power greater than a hundred lies."

What if our government officials, both elected and appointed don't care if they're lying, as in the case of both Trump and Kavenaugh? Both lie openly about things that can be disproven with a simple phone call or Google search.

Truth doesn't matter if people find convenience in the lies.
