When Democrats Take Control Donald Trump Jr. May Be Tried for Perjury



One thing lost in the flurry of Mueller court filings last week is the fact that there is now more concrete evidence that Donald Trump, Jr. lied under oath in his testimony before two congressional committees.

House committees, at least, will turn over the transcripts of Don Jr’s testimony to Robert Mueller after Democrats take control in January. And when the special counsel compares the transcripts to the truth, it is very likely that Donald Trump’s oldest son might be indicted for perjury.

At least that is what at least two Democratic members of Congress are saying.

Rep. Jackie Speier of California has stated that not only did Don Jr. lie to Congress, but that Republican members helped him to cover up his lies. Speier is a member of the House Intelligence Committee which will be chaired by Rep. Adam Schiff next year. And Schiff has made it clear that he intends to fully investigate Trump’s foreign entanglements which has not been done during Trump’s first two years in office. - PoliticusUSA


And REPUBLICAN panelists helped Jr. cover up his lies. YES! Now they're getting it!

From the article:


Republicans have made clear that they will keep ignoring their oversight duties as long as they remain in power. Despite several serious allegations that Don Jr. lied under oath to Congress, Republicans in the Senate have said they will not investigate the matter.


I would go further: Republicans have made clear that they will keep ignoring their duties as long as they are in power. The only thing they've shown an interest in is maintaining their cushy seats of power and money.
