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 investigatio

The House's arguments Monday draw new focus to whether Trump had lied to Mueller following public revelations at Roger Stone's trial this month.

Former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates testified that Trump and Stone talked about information that was coming that could help the campaign in mid-2016, at a time when Stone was attempting to get secret details about stolen Democratic documents WikiLeaks had.

So much winning

What happened with the whole Ukraine phone call?

I thought that was a bombshell?

Now we're back on obstruction from the Russia thing?

They haven't even done the investigation to determine if he lied or not.

You can investigate two things at the same time.

Shocker, I know.

Point is: They wouldn't need to do this at all if they had the goods to convince the Senate to impeach. If this phone call nonsense is a slam dunk, why even bother with this again?

So pointless. Trump is completely immune to any and all consequences to his lying and his corruption so long as republicans hold the senate and barr runs the justice department and even then there's still the republican owned supreme court. Just forget about this shit and try and find someone who can beat Trump next yar.

If someone (that includes the president) lied under oath, then it needs to be investigated. Why would you want someone who possibly lied under oath to be in office?

What fucking good is Mueller?

There is no amount of evidence that would convince Senate Republicans to vote to remove Trump from office.

Yeah, this: the Senate is never going to vote to remove Trump from office, because every Republican who does will be torn limb-from-limb by their base.
So it behooves the House to investigate anything and everything for as long as it likes, and certainly Roger Stone's trial provides them with fresh evidence of Trump's malfeasance in that matter.

Honestly speaking, the GOP will probably remove Trump on mental/physical health issues before the impeachment to take away the dems thunder.

I can tell you already:

He did.

This level of Presidential harassment is unprecedented

Spoilers he did

Love seeing people on here and the politics board squirm over this hearing.

I hope he wins 2020 so I can see even more people lose their mind here lmao

Good luck finding evidence of Trump lying. The man's very careful with his words.

I'd say there probably is a breaking point, but I don't know if it's a point we're realistically capable of reaching. Nixon's approval rating had cratered to around 25% before the Republicans flipped on him and he resigned. I don't see Trump's approval rating ever getting that low, given how fanatical his base is

What I said is true regardless of any of that.

This makes absolutely no sense and doesn't at all address the substance of the accusation against Trump. Once again the cult attacks the process and goes for character assassinations over seriously examining the allegations against dear leader.
