Corruption under Obama and in the Clinton campaign has kept me up at night, but you
are more concerned with someone who compares the size of inaugural crowds.
 
Read what Levy said after he made his disingenuous claim that somebody was killed because of the dossier.
You make a conclusion about Levy’s disingenuousness. I think we may be working with different ideas of what it means to “know”.

In any case, I read pages of the transcript after the the claim. But am still not getting the point you aren’t making. Why don’t you just make it?

Is he? Where does that idea come from?

No, I am more concerned with someone who has lied to the American public 75% of the time in only one year, and is still lying, whereas you are more concerned with someone who was less-than-truthful 25% of the time in eight years, and is now a private citizen.
 
here is a difference between comparing the size of inaugural crowds to the corruption and lies we have seen by Obama administration and Clinton campaign.
  1. The major difference is that one we have all seen, the others are ones that you have seen; they require drawing conclusions; they are not just simple observations.
  2. More to the point, the list of Trump’s lies is very long. Are you suggesting that all of the list is of the same gravity of the inauguration crowd statement?
  3. Rather than being dismissive,don’t you think that repeated straying from the truth on trivial matters like the size of the inauguration crowd is strange? Maybe a little unstable?

How do you know it was only 25% of the time? It doesn’t matter if he is a private citizen now. He is still capable of being deceitful. The same for Hillary AND Bill.
How do you come up with 75% for Trump?
 
I am not concerned with the Clintons or the Obamas. They are private citizens and likely to remain that way. What they do will not affect my life.

I am concerned with a proven serial liar named Donald Trump, who just happens to be the leader of the free world. What he says and does will affect my life, and the lives of many, greatly. In a very negative way, if he doesn’t stop lying.

I don’t see how weaponizing the IRS and the high leaders of the FBI would be trivial.
The head of the DOJ meeting the husband of a presidential candidate who is going to be
interviewed by the FBI to be a trivial matter and is more than strange and more than unstable - criminal is more like it.
Let’s take into consideration the Hillary Clinton campaign and everything that has come out about what they did.
But the democrats want to keep deflecting from the scandal of their party to Trump.
Attacking him with anything that comes along and hoping it will stick.

You are very naive my friend.

No one suggested that that is trivial.
But I have pointed out that that is your conclusion, not a simple matter of fact.
Was there really nothing on the long list of Trump’s lies that you felt non-trivial?
 
Levy told the Senate Judiciary Committee that a dossier source got killed because of the dossier. Is that true? Who is this person and why then did Levy correct his statement on Tuesday night after the transcript was released to clarify that he meant “There has been suspicious murders in Russia since the 2016 election.”

Levy made his original claim that a dossier source was killed in order to block Simpson from having to answer questions about dossier sources.

Levy: “It’s a voluntary interview, and in addition to that he wants to be very careful to protect his sources. Somebody’s already been killed as a result of the publication of this dossier and no harm should come to anybody related to this honest work.”

Since you say “correct” is statement, you have concluded that the first one was untrue.
On what basis? The first statement is direct about causality, which I don’t doubt the lawyer would like to walk back to the more agnostic statement, since the former may give some clue about the identity of sources and put others at risk.
Levy made his original claim that a dossier source was killed in order to block Simpson from having to answer questions about dossier sources.
To block? But his questioner agreed that he would not have to identify a source, but was asking only for steps taken to check credibility.

I suppose that Levy/Simpson thought that answering that question would inevitably gives clues about the source’s identify, that might put them at risk. I am not sure what is wrong with protecting sources.
 
Yup, the serial liar who’s actually delivering his campaign promises.
Guess he was honest where it really matters for a politician.
 
Wonder why they lied? Why would anyone lie to the FBI? That could cause one a whole bunch of trouble!
“Lying” assumes intent to deceive. But intent can be inferred from simple inaccuracy or faulty memory. One remembers Franken’s trap for Sessions. Sessions appears to have misunderstood Franken’s convoluted question about whether he had ever “met” with a Russian official. Sessions appears to have understood it as “have a personal meeting with”. Turned out Sessions had been in the same open meeting with others in which a Russian official was also present.

And no doubt under threat of being accused of “lying” to the Senate committee, seemingly based on a simple misunderstanding of the question, Sessions recused from the whole Russia collusion issue and could, for that matter, still be under Mueller’s gun.

I watched that session live and saw it repeated over and over again on the news, and the above simply is not true. Sessions was asked not once but twice, and in both cases denied having any contacts with any Russians. Had the question asked of him been vague, Sessions could easy have explained the difference or asked Franken exactly what he meant, but he didn’t.

But we need to put this in a larger context, namely that five others on the Trump team lied about having contacts with some Russians with not a single one of them admitted it. If one is telling the truth, one need not lie, and they could rather easily have told exactly what their connection was even if there was some doubt about the questions themselves, but none of them did that originally.

IOW, we know they lied, which begs the question why? Plus why the efforts to try and stop Mueller’s investigation by Trump himself? If I did nothing wrong, I want all the information to come out to show that I’m innocent.

We’re not going to have a wall (I didn’t want one), and what we are going to have is going to be paid for by the US taxpayers, not Mexico.

We still have the ACA, which does have problems. He hasn’t really delivered much of anything he promised. I’m waiting to see if my taxes go up or down.

I wonder if he’s still sexually harassing women and underage girls? Oh, wait! He never made a promise to act like a moral, married man, did he?

Just want to highlight this, it’s very important. Innocent people want the truth to come out.
 
When was DT ever accused of sexually harassing young girls? In fact not sure that it has been proven he has sexually harassed any woman for that matter
