Trump’s “Quid Pro Quo” Denial Should Raise No Eyebrows–Here’s Why

I find this completely credible, and here’s why.  When I do the right thing, even if it’s completely expected of me based on simple etiquette, like holding a door open for a lady coming into a grocery store behind me, I always go through the same basic three steps:

1) I tell her, “I want nothing.”  Then I repeat myself.  This is critical, as I don’t want there to be any mistake about this.

2) If asked to make a public statement about it, I make a complete set of notes, since the thing may not speak for itself, and I don’t want to leave out anything major.

3) I misspell the lady’s name, making at least two errors.  If she’s Shirley Zelensky, for instance, I may write it as “Shirley Zellinsky.”

Again, nothing to see here; I think everyone adheres pretty closely to these three basic actions.
