Telling truth will set you free

It is said a good lawyer makes you believe the truth, but a great lawyer makes you believe in the lie.

But President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has added another dimension with “truth isn’t truth”.

This is confusing until it is seen in the light, or maybe shadow, of modern English, when news becomes fake news, lies become misspeaks and negatives become double negatives.

Tell the truth – it’s simpler and can’t be challenged.
