What's going on?? All of a sudden no one has to testify under oath. That means they aren't

[shraby]

testifying. They are just rambling out observations, and he said, she said.

That's a bunch of bull pucky

[jiminvegas]

1. Lying to Congress is a federal crime

Even if they are not under oath.

[Chasstev365]

2. Yeah? Tell that to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions!

AND HE WAS UNDER OATH!

[Quanta]

3. Time for arrests or indictments for sure n/t

[Kaleva]

5. Sessions isn't safely out of the woods yet.

[shraby]

4. Jared has already lied enough on all his financial and foreign contact forms.

He needs to be run down the road. The long one that leads to the walled in courtyard and guards at the gates.

In one of those "gated communities". He has already earned it.

[Kablooie]

24. Then why have the oath at all? No. This has to be so to allow more lies without consequences.

The Republicans are covering for their own.

[NastyRiffraff]

25. Lying under oath is perjury

but lying to Congress is still a Federal crime that's been successfully prosecuted in the past.

[Kablooie]

29. But it won't be. Someone is afraid the oath will jeapordize Jared.

Otherwise his testimony would be under oath.

[SHRED]

6. You or me would have been in prison already

Fucking elitists.

[RestoreAmerica2020]

21. The black or brown kid with a joint of mj woild be in prision....or dead

[get the red out]

27. Got that right!

That is one of the most infuriating things about this whole debacle, is that your average person would have long-since been in FBI custody over a small percentage of the shit these mob bastards in this Russian installed administration have done.

[Stinky The Clown]

7. You have Gramps Grassley to thank for this bullshit.

[SharonClark]

11. That's right.

[marylandblue]

8. They will testify under oath to a grand jury

The congressional investigations aren't important. Only Mueller's investigation is important. If they testify to Congress publically, it could interfere with Mueller's investigation.

[shraby]

9. Whatever will put them behind bars the fastest is a winner. They need to be stopped

from causing more and more damage.

[flibbitygiblets]

19. Ding Ding Ding!

[Amaryllis]

10. Al FRanken is all over it. Told Jake Tapper this AM he hadn't heard they wouldn't be under oath and

they need to be.

[Baitball Blogger]

12. If they aren't required to take the oath it means they are allowing them to avoid

perjury charges.

[MerryBlooms]

13. Is there really a such thing as not being under oath

when testifying before Congress? How does that work? Isn't anytime you lie to Congress when testifying, a crime? What a week this is going to be.

[marylandblue]

16. They aren't testifying at all, they are just meeting with the comittee

[orleans]

17. so they could all have breakfast together, maybe some pancakes, shoot the shit,

and then go on their merry way.

ugh!

[get the red out]

28. Sounds like a nice morning!

Generally what these rich crooks get instead of interrogation, I guess.

[lindysalsagal]

23. Exactly what I was thinking. They're going on record. That's a start. It gives Mueller et all

red meat that requires investigating. It puts names, dates, places on record that can be followed up, and corroborrated, and contradicted later on.

This is all bad for 45 and Putin. This is really bad for them.

[burnbaby]

30. I don't think putin

is worried at all. In fact I think he laughs at us ever night as he takes a shot of vodka

[MerryBlooms]

31. I believe there are a lot of nervous people in the upper tier of the GOP.

[FSogol]

32. Putin wants to destabilize the US. He'd be delighted for the Trump administration to go down.

[pansypoo53219]

14. cling tighter GOP traitors boys. take the whole ship down.

[Akamai]

15. I saw that on Jake Tapper today. Sounds like bull shit to me.

[lastlib]

18. Hippo Diarrhea, IMHO.

I just hope Mueller gets claws into 'em in front of a grand jury............

(Hope springs eternal................)

[left-of-center2012]

20. So ... their 'testimony' could begin with ........

[thesquanderer]

22. Bush & Cheney refused to be under oath when talking to the 9/11 panel, too. (n/t)

[Akamai]

26. Yup -- and they testified behind closed doors TOGETHER!
