n just listen to what people said. Nobody said anything like that.

Let me tell you how to sort this all out and keep your sanity. So let’s talk about all the lying from yesterday. And there was some good lying yesterday. Let’s start with Putin. Many of you saw the interview in which Putin talked to Chris Wallace. And Chris Wallace, by the way, gave a great interview. He didn’t hold back a bit, and it was pretty great.

But remember what I told you about detecting lies. If you say to somebody, “Did you murder the deceased?” and the person says, “No, I didn’t. Are you crazy? Where do you even hear that?” Well, it’s crazy that that person might be innocent. But if you say, “Did you murder that dead person?” and the person says, “Why? What do you know? What evidence do you have?” that person’s almost always lying and almost always guilty in that example.

Now if you saw the Chris Wallace interview with Putin, let me summarize some of Putin’s answers to the question about the troll farms. And I think this actually was an answer he gave during the press conference. When asked about the troll farms, what did Putin say? He did not say, “No, I had nothing to do with any of that.” He said, “Well, you know, there are companies that operate on their own and do things on their own.” That isn’t obviously a tell for a lie, because when people don’t do something they say, “I didn’t do that.” But you know, “I can explain why it probably happened.” So on the question of whether Putin was aware of the troll farms, it looks like he was. Now none of this is a hundred percent confirmed, but if you were to look at the pattern of what honest people say versus the pattern of what people who are trying to deceive you say, it’s pretty clear that Putin was not giving a clean denial.

Now take the question that Chris Wallace asked about the murders by poison on UK soil. What was Putin’s response to “Are you murdering dissidents in the UK?” Did Putin say, “No, we do not do that”? Nope, he didn’t say that. He said, “We have not been shown any documents that would show us evidence that would suggest that we have done that.” That’s what you say when you’re guilty. All right, that’s exactly what you say when you’re guilty. So I would say that Putin has essentially confessed to the poisonings.

And there was a question of interference in the election and the 13 or so Russians who were indicted. Now if Russia did not attempt to interfere with the election, when asked they would say, “We don’t interfere with elections. We did not do that. These allegations are completely false.” Now that doesn’t mean you’re not lying, but an honest person talks that way. A dishonest person says, “I’ll make you a deal. Mueller’s team can come over to Russia and they can talk to our people.” And what would that interview look like? “Hey Boris, imagine Mueller’s team over there interviewing some of these suspects. Hey Boris, did you do these things we accuse you of doing?” And Boris says, “Nope.” And then the Mueller team says, “I remind you that you’re under oath.” And then the Russian says, “No I’m not. I’m in Russia. I’m not under any oath.” That’s the end of the interview, isn’t it? I mean if you’re not under oath, does it make any difference if you talk to them? Because all they have to do is say, “No, I didn’t do that.” And then you show them a document and say, “Okay, here’s a photograph of you actually pushing the button to do this hack on the DNC. Here it is. It’s a video. We’ve got a secret video showing you do it. What do you say to that?” “That’s not me in that video. Nope, not me.”

So what Putin has offered, “Let’s go to you. You can come to Russia and talk to our people,” it means absolutely nothing. All right, so that also suggests that he’s lying.

Now given that Putin has clearly lied on at least three topics in my o
