Then we have a transcript posted on Scoop
A detailed review of this will appear at a later date.
Trump and the law
On various occasions Mr Trump has been reported as saying that as President he is not subject to indictment. This link points up some of the issues. There are others available.
This document from the US National Archives suggests otherwise. It is worth noting that Kenneth Starr was appointed by Clinton’s enemies and therefore he was looking for a basis to attack Clinton.
Part of any mis-match may result from criminal as opposed to civil issues?
Yet it is rather delightful to consider that Trump may well be relying on arguments mounted by Bill Clinton whose family and probity Trump has vilified incessantly.
Karma?

Quotation for Today – 23/07/2017
Giles Coren at The Times defines, tongue in cheek, but tellingly
University education — Something that could feasibly be kept “free to all” as long as access was restricted to young people intellectually equipped to benefit from it, but which has to be paid for with whopping fees and crippling debt now that any damn fool can go, and usually does.

Q&A – Mutch interviews welfare cheat
On TVNZ’s Q&A the welfare fraudster is being given a platform by TVNZ to make her excuses. Jessica Mutch is currently interviewing self-confessed liar and welfare cheat Turei. The ‘interview’ if you can call the fawning by Mutch an interview is nothing more than Turei telling her own version of events and spinning her fairy-tale. The woman is totally unrepentent and blames the system. She seems to be overlooking other facts that have emerged this week.
Follow up comments on the programme were just as awful. Claire Robinson then set about traducing male MPs and claiming the reaction as been sexist.
