.MaddowBlog: For the first time, Pres. Trump hedges on his bogus ‘no obstruction’ claim.
Donald Trump likes talking points that are clean, simple, and easy-to-remember. In this White House, nuances and ambiguities are for losers. When communicating an idea to the public, this president wants short phrases that fit comfortably on a bumper sticker – or lend themselves to Twitter hashtags.
Sure, Trump’s phrase is wildly dishonest, and paints a deliberately deceptive picture for the public, but it’s simple and exculpatory, and for this president, little else matters. “I have presidential privilege. I could’ve stopped everything. I didn’t have to give them a document. I gave them 1.5 million documents. I gave them White House Counsel. I gave them other lawyers. Anybody you want, you can talk to. Wait, what was that about essentially no obstruction?
