He lied to my face: Congresswoman demands Jeff Sessions investigate Wilbur Ross for perjury over census lies
14 Oct 2018 at 16:04 ET
Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) is demanding the Justice Department investigate Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross be investigated for lying to Congress during a hearing that addressed the upcoming U.S. Census.
It was revealed this weekend that former White House aide asked Ross to add a question to the census about the citizenship status of the person answering the question. The idea reportedly came from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R-KS), whos in a tight race for governor against Sen. Laura Kelly (D-KS).
While under oath, Meng asked Ross where the question came from and he lied, saying he wasnt sure but that it wasnt him or the White House that was involved. Emails show former White House aide Steve Bannon asked Ross to do it while he was still at the White House.
Im upset, Meng told CNNs Fredricka Whitfield. He lied to my face and made multiple statements about the request being originated from the Justice Department about the Voting Rights Act. It is clear now that this was a political move as we have seen multiple pieces of evidence and he lied to my face when I asked him about that question.........................

(46,715 posts)Of course they're lying to us. And we can't do anything about it because we don't have the power to set the wheels of justice in motion.
So tired of our side thinking that being nice will change anything. It's like we have to get beaten up every time a new politician steps in office because we have to go through their learning curve. It's like a combination of ground hog day and the twilight zone.

(767 posts)The republicans value lying and cheating because they are LOSERS. Only when a member is imprisoned does the unethically challenged republican herd reevaluate their cheating and lying habit. He knew what he was doing. He is a republican and they have the gene to be criminals...........
