    So is Trump now saying that Flynn committed perjury?

    He isn't. Biden is a better choice.

    So would Al Franken have been.

    No. He's saying that Flynn, who accepted the National Security Advisor position while secretly employed as a lobbyist by Turkey, "was treated so unfairly by the courts". Flynn pleaded guilty to the charges Trump is referring to.

    This proclamation contains an impressive level of irony, given the business conservatives’ drive to sacrifice thousands of older Americans so they can get their hair styled and have dinner at Ruth’s Chris.

    I'm perfectly fine with investigating Biden for the Reade claims. And at the same time, let's investigate Trump for the 25 sexual assault and/or harassment claims made against him.

    Put all 26 on the stand, right Republicans?

    Doesn't hold in what way? Because Reade's allegations haven't been in front of the Senate? That's an interesting definition of credible.

    Republicans don't care and, let's face it, have never made a big show about caring for such matters. Republicans aren't coming to hearings with Handmaid's Tale outfits on.

    Has Reade been questioned under oath?

    The only reason the accusations against Kavanaugh are relevant is that it shows the Republicans are full of shit if they try to make a big deal out of the accusation against Biden. They put Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court in spite of an accusation that is every bit as credible as the one against Joe Biden. They also support President Trump in spite of many more accusations of sexual misconduct.

    Not only is the answer no, she also filed that questionable police report, knowing the statute of limitations had long since passed, and didn't even name Biden as the accused. Almost certainly because she could then be charged with filing a false report.

    Sure, but he said under oath that he understood the charges, understood his guilty plea and that the FBI did not coerce him. Now Trump is saying Flynn lied about that. Perjury.

    Never? What do you think Clinton’s impeachment was?
