Since Mueller now has those documents, he can do two things, the ex-prosecutor said.
He can compare it against evidence he has or testimony that he has taken himself, Vance explained, adding that the special counsel now also has the physical document that he would need to trigger a prosecution.
In other words, prosecutors dont indict people for perjury without an official transcript, she said. They need it for evidentiary reasons in a courtroom.
House Republicans made a last-minute play trying to avoid naming people to the committee so that these official transcripts couldnt be sent over to Mueller, the former federal prosecutor noted.
Now hes got what he needs, Vance concluded. Im sure Donald Trump Jr. is at the top of his list. There has been public reporting that indicates he may have contradicted himself. But theres no telling how deep into this list he could be looking.

(6,709 posts)11. Brennan and Clapper have certainly lied. Under oath. Before Congress and the American people.

The passage of more than three years hasnt cooled the insistence in certain quarters that Clapper face charges for an admittedly false statement to Congress in March 2013, when he responded, No, sir" and "not wittingly to a question about whether the National Security Agency was collecting any type of data at all on millions of Americans.

As reports emerged Thursday that an internal investigation by the Central Intelligence Agencys inspector general found that the CIA improperly spied on US Senate staffers when researching the CIAs dark history of torture, it was hard to conclude anything but the obvious: John Brennan blatantly lied to the American public. Again.
Whether they did this time I don't know. But we shouldn't be giving a$$holes like this a pass just because they don't like rump.

(812 posts)17. I was responding to a list shown from 2017
The ones I identified had not lied to the committee .. if you have a beef with any of the names I said had NOT lied during that period, write an amicus curiae brief when the case goes to trial.
Next?
