    from an accusation in any other way?

    Anyway...

    Two witnesses to the incident identified by Johnson, then-Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Florida campaign director Karen Giorno, said the alleged incident did not occur.

    "As a career prosecutor and attorney general, had I seen anything improper, I would have taken action," Bondi told NBC News. "I was with the president in the RV, and these allegations are false."

    Who that is.

    Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was totally not bribed by Donald Trump

    If she was naive enough to be surprised Trump cornered her it's pretty easy to believe she would be naive enough to expect Pammy to tell the truth.

    He is more incredible in person than I think you would even think as you see him on tv......he's just the nicest guy

    I'm sorry.  But seriously

    Why do you think she would name a witness who would deny being a witness?

    Not a very good lawyer if so I would say.

    Parent

    No clue, and I agree. (5.00 / 1) (#14)

    I would think an attorney would contact a witness and at least get a signed statement before naming the witness.

    "Bribe-able" Bondi, who dropped charges against tRump U after receiving an illegal campaign donation from the tRump foundation, who is currently auditioning for a job in the administration....please.
