Trump says there's nothing wrong with asking for loyalty

In an interview with Janine Pirro for Fox News, Donald Trump denied asking James Comey for loyalty, but then he said he thinks there's nothing wrong with asking for loyalty. According to The Hill:

Trump also denied that he demanded Comey’s loyalty to him during a January dinner, something that has been reported by The New York Times and The Associated Press.

“No, I didn’t,” he said when asked if he gave that request. “But I don’t think it would be a bad question to ask. I think loyalty to the country, loyalty to the United States is important."

That, of course, is bullshit. All public servants who are sworn-in swear loyalty to the US Constitution. There's no need to declare loyalty to anything else, as it is implied loyalty to the United States has already been established when declaring loyalty to the Constitution.

That suggests Trump is lying when he says he didn't ask Comey for loyalty, but he's also leaving the door open in case he gets caught.
