Edit: please pay attention to the first two words of this headline. We don’t actually know if Trump received a target letter, he could be lying out of his ass to mess with the investigation.

    I just don’t see a real motive for that 3D chess move stuff. Last time he said he got a target letter it was because he did, and he got indicted a week or two later. Simplest explanation is that he’s trying to deflate the power of the coming indictment by making it no longer a surprise.

    Personally I’d be shocked if he lied about something that made him look so bad from every angle. There’s no rhetorical advantage he gets from being indicted 3 times that he wouldn’t get from 2. You’re saying it would “mess with the investigation” but the people directly involved in the investigation are exactly the people who know the truth of the matter, it’s the public he’s interfacing with here.
