    Folks: DOJ sort of did away with perjury prosecutions for lying to Congress under the last 2 Administrations. Sure, Mueller can use it for obstruction, but...

        Nope. Perjury is "under oath." False statements is not.

        I understand that, but I've seen some saying that lying to congress was also a problem & it was unclear whether he was under oath until now. Hence, I just wished to point out that NBC has nailed that part down. Thanks.

        Do you have or know of a good post compiling all of the pundits who sobbed perjury and/or obstruction wasn't *really* a crime during the Scooter Libby fiasco?

        Trump’s been reversing course on every other policy, it’d be great if this one bit him in his big white ass.
