The evidence is clear. There was no right thing to do. If he had kept the investigation of Clinton's latest e-mails (back in October) quiet, he would have been fiercely accused of playing politics to help her win. If you're conservative, you know that's true. He erred on the side of transparency -- maybe being too honest and sided with the American people, if not the Constitution or the norms of his office. And so he was, perhaps justly, accused of influencing the election away from Clinton. (I'm not saying that it made an intentional or significant difference, just that he was accused of influencing the election).
But one thing is obvious. If there's one thing he's not, it's a liar.
On the other hand, the instigator of alternative facts, the person who elevates winning above all, who has even committed members of his own party unable to defend his claims and conservative pundits reminding people not to take what he says literally, if there's one thing Trump is, it's not honest.
There's also a PAC (which, if anything, are never honest whether conservative or liberal), trying to paint him as a show-boater. Are you going to be believe a political PAC ad about anything, ever? Not me.
So when it comes to who to believe, there's no question.
