Perjury Chart: Trump Associates' Lies, False, or Misleading Statements on Russia

Just Security

It is a federal offense to intentionally make false statements to Congress, the FBI, and other federal authorities. It is also a crime to encourage others to do so (that is, in technical terms, to “suborn perjury”). It is also a crime to engage in a conspiracy to lie to federal authorities. A conspiracy can involve a tacit or explicit agreement to commit the criminal activity.

exhausting to keep track. It will make for a best seller once the indictments and convictions are out...and The Main Liar is out of office.

I think Ivanka is getting nearer to being on this list, even if she is (whispered breathlessly and dripping with innocence) "The President's Daughter." This may be what is triggering The Daddy lately.
