    "There is no precedent that anyone can find for someone who's been charged with perjury just getting off scot free: that's the kind of stuff where you begin to get worried that our basic understanding of rule of law is at risk" - Barack Obama, yesterday. 2013: https://twitter.com/Isikoff/status/1258939051798921218 …pic.twitter.com/htWcK2lUFz

        That said, I do appreciate the creative tactic of Obama delivering perfectly crafted DNC messages "in private" to his ex-aides and then releasing the recordings to friendly reporters as though they're monumentally important leaks revealing hidden truth.https://news.yahoo.com/obama-irule-of-law-michael-flynn-case-014121045.html …

        Also, though it was done through pardon rather than DOJ dismissal, George HW Bush pardoned several key aides, including his Defense Secretary indicted for perjury, ensuring that they got off "scot free," & Bush himself was protected: major corruption.https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/24/bush-pardons-iran-contra-felons-dec-24-1992-1072042 …

        Correct, that's my point: not only wasn't he charged but also didn't lose his job. And the person who kept him in his highly sensitive position is a pretty poor messenger for warning that the rule of law is endangered if powerful people can get away with lying during testimony.

        Don't disagree that several Obama seniors lied to Congress They were under Oath. Am unsure lying to Congress is perjury under the general perjury statute - must be under oath in a court of law. I doubt Obama was splitting those hairs. Yes, there should have been repercussions.
