Legality has become less of whether or not it broke the rules and more like whether or not it will land you in jail. The line has moved. Congress should act accordingly.
Well. How are they supposed to be keeping track of all of their self-deleting chat groups doing illegal and fascist things, when there are so many? The poor people are working hard against humanity, give them a break!
Considering that most of the current congress, and yes I do mean Republicans, lied repeatedly and provable lies at that, I don't see anything but a continuing of their policy to lie, hide, and outright avoid responsibility for anything that they do.
That was just a norm and it was replaced by a new norm created for the SCOTUS confirmation hearings of the first Trump administration. It's called "They just let you do it".
Remember when Clinton lied about ML & they kept playing the clips of him saying "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" followed by "Indeed, I did have a relationship....."? They should play the testimony of their lies followed by the texts proving they lied over & over & over & over.
Illegal, yes, but I don't think DOJ - Dem or Republican lead - prosecutes due to difficulty in proving intent. Not saying that's right (!), just I've read that DOJ doesn't want to invest time or effort.
Due to the Trump administration and Trump and his executive orders a lot of things that used to be a crime are no longer crimes. That includes bribery and money laundering that’s a new one.
It still is but you see now the guy in charge of making sure that the laws of the land are enforced is a convicted felon and ... um.... it's complicated.
I'm old enough to remember when a sitting Congressman (who is STILL a sitting Congressman) defied a lawful subpoena. Laws are only legal if they are enforced.
No, it was only illegal if the Democrats did that. It was always okay for the gqp to lie. As a matter of fact, it’s part of their slogan/motto/creed/whatever.
I believe so, yes. And I think there used to be consequences for that, if I remember correctly. Even impeachment, if it was about something really serious, like a blow job.

count as a lie?
So. Yes. On paper.
No. In practice.
President Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about a blowjob.
🤷🏼♀️
Now it's considered "Tuesday."
This shit has been going on for a while now. Until people start going to jail for perjury, it will continue.
