if they already had the information, why did they ask him for the same information?
So you can't quite wrap your head around lying , can you?
how do they know he's lying? that's my question. cause sane people don't do deals for information they already have.
They "know" he's "lying" because he isn't giving them any poop on President Trump.
Mueller isn't involved in a quest for Truth, but instead a quest for "truth".
He expects Manafort to lie to save his worthless carcass. Mueller resisted and that's "lying" in his view.
Actually, Manafort is doing the only thing he can do. If he lied about his President, he would certainly be caught. And Mueller would throw him under the bus for perjury, and swear he didn't put Manafort up to it.
