So, another lie? That’s at least 2 he was sworn in aren’t we looking at perjury?
I'm not saying perjury doesn;t stand, just that people naturally forget to ask if the lie affects the outcome of the decision being made, or misleads the people involved in making the decision.
The senate committee hearing today had no purpose that i can discern. If the purpose was to probe Russian interference in the eleciton, questions about Comey and Trump are out of place, and the witness can lie about that line of question, with impunity.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence exists to certify for the other 85 members of the United States Senate and the American people that the intelligence community is operating lawfully and has the necessary authorities and tools to accomplish its mission and keep America safe. Part of our mission, beyond the oversight we continue to provide to the intelligence community and its activities, is to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. The committee's work continues. This hearing represents part of that effort.That's the opening statement for this hearing. It is likely also why Comey insisted he was fired becuase Trump aimed to curtail investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections. His testimony in that regard was contradictory though, in that Comey testified his firing has no effect on any ongoing investigation.
"Get (or clear) Trump" is not the intended function of this hearing. Going there was a purely political activity endorsed by all of the participants.
On May 3rd he said under oath he had not been pressured but now he says he “felt” he was. Which time was he lying.
