Your telling me in all these investigations, Trump hasn't lied to the Investigators? We know for certain he did in the Classified File case.
Should be a slam dunk if it ever goes to trial.

I expect not ONE of them to EVER be brought to justice.
Now if they were dems, ALL would be.
Maybe not that many have been interviewed by the FBI but they lie to everyone all the time, had to be under oath at some point.
like the SC justices, werent they under oath in confirmation hearings? I am asking because I dont know.

(32,402 posts)So, no perjury. Also, I don't want to know if my client is guilty or not because that gives me many options if it goes to trial. If I know my client is guilty there are many motions and questions I can't ask at trial because it would be a fraud on the court. So, no perjury.
If I remember right, he was in NY or NJ when the Florida raid took place.

(50,478 posts)She knew others did far worse than she did.
And nothing happened to them.
But she kept her mouth shut, didn't point fingers or blame others.
Went to prison and helped women learn marketable skills for when they were released.
Was a model prisoner.
Came out and put it behind her and knocked it out of the park with her business plans.

(16,246 posts)Stewart was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction and two counts of lying to federal investigators. However, the most serious criminal charge against her securities fraud was previously dismissed by the judge

I wasn't attacking Smith, I was questioning if our Justice System will treat him as severely.
