Kind of, you know, the man seems to lie about so many things. How many lies in the last debate?

Something like this comes up and you have to wonder? Did he tell the truth or did he buy his own protection in a situation that could have landed him in prison for life?

There isn't enough time to really "prove" this to his die hards, but maybe putting credible doubt into their minds on many small things will be enough. Show the pattern of dishonesty and honestly be stumped as to any way he WOULDN'T have lied in that situation if the means had been available for him to do so.
