He was not truthful about the respective meanings of "boofing" and "Devil's Triangle." So, does that make him unacceptable to Dolt a L'Orange?

The Trump admin aided and abetted the lies with coaching they full well knew would come up.

I've got a sneaking suspicion, given some of Trumps latest statements, the bus is waiting.

So, my first reaction was Bullshit - Trump doesn't give a f**k about Kavanaugh lying to Congress.

However, this gives him an out.
