Jeff Greenfield: What’s Put the W.H. in Crisis Is Not Comey’s Testimony But Trump’s Response to It

‘When the president said I’m willing to testify under oath, I think there were a lot of folks in the White House who just suddenly reached for the Metamucil’

RUSH EXCERPT:
GREENFIELD: "Yes, and the funny thing, funny is not the right word, Brian. The odd thing about it is what has put the White House in crisis is not so much what Comey said but Donald Trump’s response to it. When the president said I’m willing to testify under oath, I think there were a lot of folks in the White House who just suddenly reached for the Metamucil or whatever, because that’s the circumstance under which any statement under oath, if it’s false, can be prosecutable or impeachment, even if the underlying event that he’s talking about didn’t give rise to it. I think it’s not an irony, but what happened after the hearings with the president’s statement is the big news and just if I may say this, I think we’re going to see Trump testify under oath about a minute after we see his tax returns. He would be just so wrong to put himself under that kind of potential problem."
