It is not insane. Lying in court to save yourself or screw other people almost never has negative consequences for the liar.
I think the sentences for it ought to be more severe than whatever the person the are trying to screw over by lying, faces.
It is agtempting to play the entire system as suckers for their own gain, use the courts as a weapon against someone else based on deliberate lies, and often screw over innocent people.
My ‘insane’ remark in the original post was referring to what appears to be a hands-off policy regarding the DC political elite and the little guy. No doubt, as I stated, shen is guilty and needs to be punished.
