Lying to Congress IS a crime! |
|
Remember Iran-Contra?!
The following people were convicted because they lied to Congress!
Oliver North John Negroponte Elliot Abrams John Poindexter
These people also lied... George W. Bush (In a SOTU address before the war on Iraq) John Ashcroft (Lied to the 9/11 Commission)

It doesn't matter about what. John Dean has spoken out many times on this.

Weinberger. And also remember that Bush pardoned all that were involved in that scandal on Christmas Eve '92. Rove will get a pardon too. Bush2 is still in office after lying to everyone, so he got his pardon by getting away with it.

8. Lying to Congress... not just Perjury. |
|
And was John Ashcroft under oath, I think he was, but I am not sure.
When a President makes a SOTU speech, the Constitution says they must report in 'good faith', in other words they must tell the truth.
This can fry the Mal-Administration.
