You or I would be facing charges already.

Two sets of standards.
This country is so screwed.

Continued lying gives him breathing room. Admitting the truth means he gets led out of the Capitol in handcuffs.

Which do you think he will choose?

You really think they'd arrest him on the spot?

The elites have a different set of rules than us.

Mueller will be watching every word. If he hears the right thing, the operational word in "Special Prosecutor" will not be "special," but rather "prosecutor." Sessions isn't "elite." He's expendable collateral damage, and Trump would trow him to the wolves as a bad apple in a heartbeat if he thought it would take some heat off himself for even five minutes.
