  • Needs to Let it Go

    Going to sound snarky but not intentionally…

    You may benefit by getting some therapy regarding your resentment/ anger towards Trump. You invoke him in every discussion even when he is not part of the story. It’s odd

He brings an unfiltered, confident perspective to everything from celebrity gossip and pop culture to sports and politics, and ... more

The greatest gas lighter!! The lie guy analyzes J. P. Miller
Q: Feel free to share what you would do differently if you were advising investigators in this case.
He would scrutinize the forensics and timeline, challenge misleading narratives, and push for concrete, verifiable actions rather than relying on the subject's self-serving explanations or selective memories.
The greatest gas lighter!! The lie guy analyzes J. P. Miller
Q: Give me your overall take on this guy after watching the clips.
Walters provides a strategic, evidence-oriented lens for evaluating the interview, focusing on credibility, consistency of statements, and reverse-engineering the suspect's behavior without getting drawn into criminal conclusions. He emphasizes objectivity and a backwards interview approach to understand the liar's pattern.
