Why wasn't TILLERSON put under oath? Therefore, can't be charged with perjury while lying.

[font size=5]Question Time for Rex Tillerson[/font]

.... Because the committee chairman, Tennessee Republican Bob [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Corker, hadn’t asked Tillerson to take the oath before testifying (a departure from usual policy), no perjury charges can be brought[/FONT] here, but Tillerson was lying—and needlessly so. ....

8. Well, that sucks. Maybe they can't do anything about it but they sure as hell could make a lot of

noise, get it all out there so people know what is going on. Just like they did where the republicans were going to do away with the Ethics Commission. Look how that worked when the people found out about it.

7. Lying to Congress is a felony.

IIRC, the oath is not necessary for charges.
