It the law was against making false statements IN congress, there would have been no one to conduct the hearings.

Sure will.
Aside from the serious nature of the alleged infraction (/s) he is white and the Feds clearly are going to hammer him.
Why didn’t he do something minor like dress in paramilitary garb and carry a nightstick at a voting booth?

Maybe if he is convicted they will suspend his law license and hold a parade for him.

These people are virtually spitting in our face because they know we cannot do anything about it.

The economy is going down in flames and they vote pork for their supporters; the black panthers are intimidating at the polls; we are overrun at the border and they sue the state trying to protect their citizens; and the most important thing they can address is that some retired pitcher lied to them under oath?

Since all politicians swear an oath before taking office, would they be considered under oath at all times while in office? Would lying under oath be cause for removal?

Why is it that politicians can say they "misspoke" when caught in a lie, or "overlooked" paying taxes on their income when they get caught and the rest of us have to pay fines and penalties or go to jail?

The guy lied under oath. It’d be pretty hypocritical for those of us who thought Billy Jeff should have been held accountable for that to give this guy a pass.
