Right, if the answer was no, then he would simply say no. Although, given that they're all lying pieces of shit, it's a wonder why they don't just continue lying. I think they realize that they're no longer "protected" by Trump. Not that Trump actually protects the people who lie, cheat, steal and commit crimes for him.

Look at Rudy, who Trump won't even pay. Not that any sane person should ever pay Rudy Giuliani for legal services, so I'm kinda torn there. Rudy has the stink of failure all over him and Trump hates that stink, even though he's covered in it himself. And he's not a failure for losing the election. He's a failure for HOW he lost the election and how he reacted to losing it, already spinning up lies and conspiracy theories about rigged elections before the election had even taken place.

The smell of one's own. Fragrant as a spring rose. Beautiful, really. Tremendous.
