Andrew McCarthy: “In my columns Monday and Tuesday, I stressed that President Trump could talk himself into being charged by the Justice Department by making public claims that prove to be untrue. This is especially so if what proves to be untrue are claims depicting Trump as fully cooperative and transparent, in contrast to the Justice Department, which is portrayed as the corrupt cat’s-paw of the Biden White House.”
“I should have added that the former president could find himself in even hotter water if, as is often the case, his more exuberant allies try to substantiate his combative story lines, without much thought about whether they are well thought through and, well, you know… true.”
