I’ve been watching videos of the testimony of Trump’s comedians about the awful but not surprising screw-up that leaked classified information onto an unprotected telephone line. These officials are showing their Trumpist credentials by telling one lie after another before in response to Senators’ questions. Tulsi Gabbard’s bad memory and obfuscations and evasions are breathtaking — who prepped her for this testimony? John Ratcliffe’s stout denial, “I did not transmit classified information” reminds me of Bill Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman.”  These very professional liars have set a new standard for the Trump administration’s Special Olympics for Liars.
