When is a lie, not a lie, maybe when its a hoax, for it would seem that anything negative about Donald Trump is a hoax, or false news! but anything positive is the truth.
This week I spent a lot of time watching web that was covering the Trump impeachment hearings in Washington.
Experts far more qualified than myself have produced item after item about trumps lies:
https://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/
After having a look at this above it is clear that half truths and lies are vital in politics these days
The Republicans on the Intelligence committee kept referring to key witnesses as pushing the Hoax that Trump had broken the law and that it was all a Democratic hoax. Somehow this bunch of old white males did not know the difference between hearsay and honestly reporting what one over heard or remember reading about the various issues involved around the issues being discussed.
So I turned to the BBC to get the facts about what was said at these impeachment hearings and I invite you to do the same:

So to save you a lot of searching the web the reference above will explain the process of impeachment taking place right now in clear and understandable terms, and let me assure that is most revealing, for us here in NZ.
