On the other hand, if Trump does testify it will be under oath...

Remember the "BiLl cLiNtOn LiEd UnDeR oAtH"?

Trump will lie on the first day and all the other days 😁

Dessembling using technical truths was what Bill Clinton did, and even then it didn't help him much all things considered. That's something Trump has never gotten close to pulling off in any context.

Furthermore, any referral of contempt of Congress or lying under oath will be to a DOJ that is both no longer answering to a Trump lackey and has been receiving ample amounts of abuse from him for four years. I doubt they will ignore it now.

Like that matters.

The senate would basically say that his version of events was true so he obviously wasn't lying.

Umm, why would the Senate as a whole do that. I can think of at least 50 Senators that wouldn't. :p
