    he’ll give mostly equivocations, pleas to the 5th, non-remembrances, and non-answer answers that mostly cover his own ass and deflect blame from the GOP th

    That’s certainly what he’s done in the media, but I’m not so sure that’s how he’ll respond when 1) he’s answering narrow questions crafted by an experienced attorney and 2) he’s answering questions after having sworn to God that he would tell the truth

      his displayed pattern of behavior for the past several decades has been a hateful, self-serving scumbag. why would that suddenly change now?

          this is my take on what’s happening with him now: it’s political posturing. he knows he’s likely to be called at least for a deposition, and he’s getting in front of the media coverage by offering, or, at least, by saying he’d be cooperative. now, to a public audience, that can mean whatever we want it to mean, and to his base, that means he’s an angel who did nothing wrong, a patriot deserving of their vote. because he’s a law-abiding victim!

          to the discerning listener, it’s a cover-his-ass declaration meaning nothing much now and whatever he wants it to mean later, especially if he changes his mind, as the legal and media landscape remains fluid between now and then. what will actually transpire? we’ll have to wait and see.
