David Corn asks a great question.


This is a big deal. If Mueller is investigating whether witnesses in the Trump-Russia scandal lied to Congress, a lot of major players could be in a heap of trouble.

1. Consider what a great job Mueller is doing then realize if GOP weren't traitors Mueller would

have TEN TIMES the money and person power to do this investigation with.

WAY WAY more criminal fucks would be going to jail.

2. Congress Doesn't Care Though

The repubs in Congress couldn't care less if they were lied to. In fact, many of them already know they were.

They are all part of the big con.

3. True, but lying to Congress is still a felony.

Even if Congress won’t hold them in contempt, Mueller can still prosecute.

4. Holding Out Hope For Justice

Losing faith that it will happen.

5. Yeah, think Jeff Sessions.

7. A new congress is about to care hugely.

Even if we don't get full control, there will be changes.

breaking laws in DC, under fascism, is okey dokey

13. Is it true that Warner AND Burr alerted Mueller to Patten's testimony?

I heard that earlier and wondered about Burr. It’s curiious to me he would agree to tell Mueller.

6. Yes, a Big Deal. With lying, obstruction of justice, money laundering, a lotta people are goin' down

[Honeycombe8]

8. That would include Sessions.

But maybe the deal made was that he would recuse himself from the investigation, in exchange for not being prosecuted for perjury.

9. That was my first thought.

[Claritie Pixie]

14. Good point, that makes sense.

11. Not only that, the focus is now on campaign issues rather than mere bank fraud
