“Congress needs to look at making changes to 1001.”
I’ve thought this for some time. At the very least with the technology we have now, the FBI should be required to record any interview to which 1001 is to apply. And there should probably be a warning-like statement read before any interview to which 1001 is to apply.
For testimony in legal proceedings we make people swear in before giving statements for which they will be subject to the penalty for perjury. Perhaps they should be sworn before these kind of FBI interviews when a similar penalty is to apply.
Page and Pop were both moles. Acting as innocents.....the bigger story is how they were brought into the periphery of the campaign.
It’s Sessions folks....
ALL FBI interviews MUST be recorded...voice and steno and video!! They are SLOPPY record keepers...witness NONE of Hilliary’s people were recorded videoed or stenoed!
A common sense reform and I concur. The idea that they could come talk to you without telling you the YOU are under investigation for a crime and then charge you with 1001 just seems wrong. It should come with a warning that you are a target or a witness in a criminal investigation and if you lie you might be charged. After that, if you lie it is on you. Similar to a Grand Jury admonishment.
