and I didn't believe him for one second. To the Don, a promise is just something he has to do to get a deal done. He has a long, long record of being untrustworthy, and to cite any oath he has taken recently as being indicative of anything at all would be to insult my intelligence.
I don't know if you are old enough to remember, but back in 1963, we had a very popular president who people thought was a really great man...a true Irish-American Roman Catholic hero. In 1960. he won the mock election in my 6th grade class at St.Teresa's 117-3, and carried among our parents by a similar margin. If you weren't around then, you can't imagine how popular he was, at least with us.
In 1963, he got murdered, and we haven't had a Catholic president since. Some people probably think that is happenstancet, but I do not.
The day Kennedy was shot, he was surrounded by people who had taken oaths, including the person who succeeded him. Then, the oath-takers put some poor slob forward as the guy who had killed the president.
Two days later, when they tried to transfer the alleged killer to another jail, he was surrounded by law enforcement of all stripes. all of whom had taken oaths. Then, another nobody popped out of the crowd, and all the oath-takers parted like the Red Sea before Moses. This guy killed Kennedy's killer, and spent a few years behind bars surrounded by oath-takers, until he died, from cancer, the oath-takers said.
Then, about 10 or 15 years after he was murdered, Kennedy's reputation started taking hits. Big, ugly hits. First, it was a trickle, but then just a flood of "information" began spewing forth. Where did all these alternative facts about Kennedy come from? Facts that supposedly were known by insiders for decades, but only came out after Kennedy and his brother were long gone?
Why, they came from the oath-takers, of course! And nobody said a thing.
That is just one reason that I don't take seriously the fact that people who are players in the game of power have taken oaths. Their oaths are written on the water.
I hope this answers your question.
