"Not that I'm aware of" is what lawyers tell guilty clients who don't want to admit something prejudicial. It is a clever way to avoid perjury because it is very difficult to disprove someone's mental state, i.e., simply not remembering. If instead, they say "no," it can be disproven, ergo perjury. - ThreadSky

Was Tulsi Gabbard lying today, or was she lying yesterday?

Lying all the time.

Not so clever

feralfunk.bsky.social•64 days ago

He could have allowed them a day to refresh their memories. Could have said, “since you can’t share the not- classified info here, go check your phones, come back tomorrow, and answer the simple yes or no question.

sajeguy.bsky.social•65 days ago

I'm telling you, if you wouldn't buy it from your ten your old, you shouldn't let anyone buy it from these yahoos.

seasonsofbluesky.bsky.social•65 days ago

Its called lying and we aren’t stupid.

duanebidoux.bsky.social•64 days ago

These guys lie worse than my four year old.

What did they disclose in other Signal chats?

dino1756.bsky.social•65 days ago

More classified intel for sure that should never be discussed outside of secure DOD channels. They are mad they got caught and are tripping over each other, playing the blame game or straight-up lying.

Right up there with a “I can’t recall”.

loiss.bsky.social•65 days ago

If she's talking, she's lying.

ward920.bsky.social•65 days ago

If her mouth is open she's lying.

bijal-shah.bsky.social•64 days ago

If she can't remember either she's lying or your not suited for the role. An important requirement is to know the details and timelines.

aliceofearth.bsky.social•64 days ago

This lying pack of thieves should all be locked up

lcheckas.bsky.social•65 days ago

Can someone scratch "Honorable" off her placard there? Words have meaning.

Don't we want people who are "aware" in positions of authority and responsibility? The next question should have been: "Why weren't you aware? Are you too incompetent to know what's happening around you?"

bluegrits.bsky.social•65 days ago

I'm concerned about the widespread outbreak of an illness which causes mental lapses of memory among members of the Trump Regime. DEA/NIH/CDC investigating?

pbsniagara.bsky.social•64 days ago

At least we have a few quick witted congresspeople. The fraud seems so obvious yet how many voted for the felon?

johnnyfreeusa.bsky.social•65 days ago

Obviously she has no personal honor. That's seemingly the norm with this administration.

dsolomonesq.bsky.social•64 days ago

I guess if you work for Trump, it's not an occupational disqualification to have the memory of a flea, even allegedly.

glohovey.bsky.social•65 days ago

F* if I could not remember details from my job I would be fired! You damn well should be aware of ... If you are that stupid you should be fired and never hired! The Dems need to tell them that ...not being aware is GROSS Negligence! INCOMPETENCY at best and LYING at Worst!

dave1491.bsky.social•65 days ago

She just looks lost and stupid.

edenarachnelatro.bsky.social•65 days ago

She’s going for reckless incompetence instead.

dino1756.bsky.social•65 days ago

Man, it's like she wasn't a person of "merit" to be hired in this position. None of trump's people should have been hired. And a 34 count felon who doesn't take any responsibility for his actions is a great example for the people below him.

naturisthippy.bsky.social•65 days ago

She has extremely short term memories of events
Notice Tulsi didn't even bring her day planner to the hearing

We need to see all their phones government & personal

They all failed because no one came forward to say
"it's a bad idea to talk about military operations in this room"

They all failed

The director of national intelligence isn't so intelligent

ladyjaded.bsky.social•65 days ago

It's treason. Ask Snowden. Ask Nixon.
If it's not,then what is?

dino1756.bsky.social•65 days ago

If your everyday service member did this, they would already be in front of a military judge for court martial and most definitely sent to prison.

moketchup.bsky.social•65 days ago

Why choose

prodrivertools.com•65 days ago

She's never been known as a very smart woman. Makes you wonder why anyone would vote for her when she was in Congress

dino1756.bsky.social•65 days ago

Well, they all got paid off. The bigger question is what ever happened to the background check that these employees are supposed to do or the training that tells you multiple times that discussing classified info on unsecured channels is highly illegal.

ncyankee.bsky.social•65 days ago

The obvious follow-up question to this answer is "So it's possible that [the allegation that they're trying to deny]".

Q: Was the light red when you entered the intersection?

A: Not that I'm aware of.

Q: So it's possible the light was red when you entered the intersection, is that right?

mluttik.bsky.social•65 days ago

Republicans supporting an investigation are just doing a Linsey. For a moment you believe they are coming to their senses, but you will be fooled. 2 days from now they'll support the Signal gang and Trump again. Same playbook over and over again to lower the heat to 0 Kelvin levels.
