Perjury! Everyone here knows that these people CANNOT tell the truth!! SO find a way to get them under oath and go after them! Somehow we need to get them under oath!! Any thoughts on this?

(7,715 posts)For the last four years, the former didn't happen. It will now under President Biden's Department of Justice and US Attorneys.
And, yes, the civil suits will bankrupt the bad actors as well.
But you need both.

Organizations dedicated to violence cannot help but inflict litigable damages.

(7,715 posts)This one thing allowed Trump to get away with anything: there was no law enforcement to stop him since he controlled the Justice Department and the US Attorneys.
Now, all that changes. President Biden controls DoJ through his AG and the US Attorney appointments Anyone who wants to perjure themselves, refuse to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas or refuse to answer questions absent a reasonable assertion of privilege will face huge repercussions just for that, putting aside whatever criminal behavior that they may have engaged in.
That one thing makes a HUGE difference. Trump didn't need to worry about it for the last four years. He and his henchpeople, along with anyone engaging in or knowledge of criminal acts, now do.

(15,084 posts)Justice Kavanaugh's testimony UNDER OATH in both of his confirmation hearings.
He clearly lied both times.
Doubt we could ever impeach him though.
