President Donald Trumps personal attorney Rudy Giuliani raised the nations eyebrows yesterday when during an impassioned debate with Meet the Press host Chuck Todd, he proclaimed truth isnt truth! Given Trumps past comments that what you are seeing and what you are reading is not whats happening and Kellyanne Conways infamous alternative facts comment, many laid into this administrations obvious obfuscation of objectivity as a last tactic in a lowing political war over the Mueller investigation.
This morning, the former New York Mayor cleaned up his Sunday morning comment with a tweet that clarified the intended meaning of his comment:

Despite the awkward turn of phrase of truth isnt truth, reasonable viewers of the Meet the Press segment should have understood immediately what Giuliani had intended as he made clear that the former FBI Director James Comey and Donald Trump have diametrically opposed accounts of an alleged Oval Office conversation in which Trump asked Comey to go easy on former NSA Director Michael Flynn, an issue that lies at the heart of any potential charge of presidential obstruction of justice.
Or as Giuliani tweeted, he was referencing the classic he said, she said puzzle.

Sure it applies to Moral Theology. Someone wrote in those 800 errors and conflicts in the Bible.

because you just randomly spit out words. Like a word machine.

...one side took notes immediately after. Unless Donald Trump recorded the conversation, and because of his inclinations to lie, it is not a simple "he said/he said" equation of the truth.
