Judge Boasberg grills DOJ on Trump’s comments about El Salvador deportations: “Was the president telling the truth?” the judge asked.

One of the benefits of an executive that outright lies or says the quiet parts out loud is that there’s limited space for their lawyers to hide behind “nuance” arguments.

Why should the President tell the truth, ever? He is shielded from all consequences for it, as long as a majority of the House (or, failing that, 1/3 of the Senate) agree with him.
