There's hardly an expression that captures the absurd hypocrisy of Trump talking about Comey lying to Congress while his administration is serving up more whoppers than a Burger King during the lunch rush

We’re Led by an Administration of Liars

Trump insisted Comey be prosecuted for supposedly lying to Congress—but his own administration is full of officials who lied to Congress.

Despite congressional action, quick release of Epstein files is in doubt

The legislation calling for the release of Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein includes major loopholes. The department has been silent on its plans.

The patriarchy is alive and going strong in SC. Yesterday's elections prove they fear women having an ounce of power. Heaven help the few women remaining in the SC General Assembly and town councils. #scpol

Meet Chad Mizelle, the former third-in-command at Trump's DOJ.

His financial disclosures were shielded from the public during his time in the administration.

To our knowledge, we are the first to report on his conflicts of interest now.

Chad Mizelle managed to serve in Trump’s administration without disclosing his financial entanglements publicly – and now, only after his departure, can we highlight his conflicts of interest.

He is used to lying about things repeatedly for months & months until, with the help of Fox, Newsmax, & right-wing podcasters and propagandists, eventually 45% of the country believes the lie. But this has been one subject he hasn’t been able to lie through because everyone knows the truth.
