Please provide a list of people indicted for lying under oath at a Senate hearing?

Anyway would not be the first time for such allegations against Kavenaugh

Did Brett Kavanaugh Straight Up Lie to Congress the First Time He Was Appointed?

Did Brett
Kavanaugh lie to Congress about 'torture memos'?

Five Times Brett Kavanaugh Appears to Have Lied to Congress While Under Oath

So far as I understand the posts from Ouchboy and StirB they were simply stating your claims were untrue?

Marton, please read the WaPo article I sent. This "scholar" is in essence saying that because Mark Judge signed a sworn statement which if false would render him guilty of a felony. This scholar recommends that this should be the rule going forward.

The question remains, why would Judge expose himself to a possible felony conviction, if what he did not state was true? Why would he do that for high school buddy he has not spoken to in "several years"? Is he THAT stupid? To face incarceration for a old high school pal??

That a sworn statement under penalty of felony was less egregious than a sworn oath which is only guilty of perjury?

Not really, the FBI are a police force so they can simply indict people.

Exactly how Congress can indict people for lying is not at all clear, it is likely a long and complex process; the last time (and possibly only time) was in 1983!

Why?
Better than admitting he was part of the sexual assault?

Point of contention. Signing a sworn statement that is false does not automatically make you guilty and send you to jail. First there has to be a charge (by a district attorney or attorney general) of making a false statement and/or committing perjury. Followed by a conviction or a plea agreement for a lesser charge. If the statement is false and he's not charged with a crime, nor convicted of one, technically he is not guilty under the law. Public opinion on the other hand...

How can one argue about semantics without knowing what the phrase "Potayto, Potahto" means? Hint, it is "Potato, Potato" written phonetically.

We made no comment on this point, we were just correcting your mistake / lie*

*delete as appropriate.

So why not google semantics??

Under federal law, perjury is a felony, so your statement doesn't make any sense.

Please stop trying to distract by going off topic, stick to the matter in hand. When did the 4 witnesses give testimony under oath?

There is a lot not making sense here. I think we are wasting our time and energy with this one.

Except I don't lie but keep trying! And yes, Ouch boy did remove a blob as my claim was "inaccurate"...

But you guys had your facts confused according to Marton...

All gave sworn statements which if false, will be subject to felony charges!

Here's another phrase which might be helpful.

When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Because (Gasp!) you could be wrong???

So, let's ignore facts as this cannot help your argument? Why would Mark Judge lie under penalty of felony for a guy he has not spoken to in several years?

PS.. Unfortunately, Dr Ford's good friend, Leland, did not opt for the same route. Someone correctly advised her, despite her friendship with Dr Ford, what was at stake. And she chose wisely...

The more I think about it, the more I think Reb77br is correct. Ford had nothing to lose by making this accusation. It is a win/win for her regardless of outcome.

Neither you nor your ivory tower academic who wrote the WaPo article seem able to recognise that whilst in your theoretical world sworn statements to Congress if false, will be subject to felony charges, in the real world there have been no indictments for almost 40 years.

That may be true.
But sometimes, there are consequences in the real world.

Wether it's true or not - but the moment James R Clapper, then Director of National Intelligence "forgot" to mention the billions of bits of data and meta-data the intelligence agencies collected on Americans in front of a Senat Select Committee hearing was later cited by Edward Snowden as a sort-of breaking-point for himself where he decided to go down the whistle-blowing route.

So, if somebody tells a lie, often there's a person that knows it's a lie. And it can backfire.

So now we can expect a new flood of US traitors

I'm still waiting for you to admit that you were untruthful/wrong saying those 4 people were under oath. Until you do that, there's no need for us to respond to one another again.
