Trumps (PERP) parade coming up in our nations Capital!

<BY JASON LEMON ON 1/27/19 AT 4:12 PM >



<Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff has said that the House Intelligence Committee, which he chairs, will send transcripts of its previous questioning of Donald Trump Jr. to special counsel Robert Mueller so he can consider whether to pursue perjury charges against the president’s son...


<The representative from California made the comments during an interview Sunday on ABC’sThis Week. Host George Stephanopoulos asked the congressman about allegations from Schiff’s fellow committee member Jackie Speier, accusing Trump Jr. of lying to the intelligence body. “Do you agree?” Stephanopoulos asked.>


<“Well, I’d like the special counsel to have access to Don Jr.’s testimony and determine whether it is evidence of—of false statements,” Schiff responded. “I greatly appreciate the seriousness with which the special counsel takes lying to Congress,” he added, “so I’ll let Bob Mueller be the judge of that.”>


<He then explained that the Intelligence Committee, which is now under Democratic control, will send copies of the interview transcripts to Mueller’s team.>


<“One of the first acts, if not the first act, of our committee will be to send all of these transcripts of all the witnesses to Bob Mueller so that he can consider whether additional perjury charges are warranted,” the congressman explained. Although he said Mueller already had access to the documents, he pointed out that the committee wants the investigation to be able to “use them for whatever purpose including perjury prosecution or witness intimidation or obstruction of justice.”>


<Some of Trump Jr.’s testimony to the members of Congress has been disputed by others indicted by Mueller’s ongoing probe into Russia's interference in the 2016 election and allegations that the president’s campaign team colluded with Moscow. While the president’s son told the committee that he did not inform his father about a now infamous Trump Tower meeting, which involved individuals linked to the Kremlin, Michael Cohen, who previously served as Trump’s lawyer has reportedly disputed that claim.>


<Cohen is now cooperating with Mueller as a part of a plea agreement. The ex-Trump attorney pled guilty late last year to charges involving campaign finance violations, tax evasion and lying to Congress. At the end of December, former federal prosecutor and CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Trump Jr. should be concerned.>


<“When Michael Cohen pled guilty a few of weeks ago to making the hush money payments, the campaign finance violations, the papers referenced ‘executive 1’ and ‘executive 2’ within the Trump Organization. If either of those are Donald Trump Jr. he could be in trouble,” Koning said.>


<“He also has potential exposure for lying to Congress about the Moscow project, which is another thing Michael Cohen pled guilty to. We could also have indictments there,” he added.>
<Schiff told Stephanopoulos on Sunday that “it's clear that Mueller's work is not yet done.”>


<On Friday, former Trump adviser and longtime friend Roger Stone was arrested as part of the ongoing probe. He has been charged with obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements, becoming the sixth associate of the president to be indicted by Mueller.>

Let's see the transcripts first, then we'll discuss whether there are grounds for perjury charges.

I have a feeling Mueller is already looking into this.

Wanna bet he hasn't already considered this?

That’s... precisely what was being proposed.
 
If the Russia investigation is a "nothingburger witch hunt", then why the hell did so many trump associates lie to various government bodies?

What incentive is there for lying?

Herr Schiff of the newly reorganized Gestapo House of anti-American Democrat seditionists has set his wicked sights on Trump Jr. and intends to enlist Herr Heinrich Muller and his secret jack-booted police to draw blood from the targeted enemy of their goose-stepping barbarian Democrat Socialists of American tribal savage oligarchy.

Anything to add to the thread which is "MUELLER SHOULD CONSIDER 'PERJURY CHARGES' AGAINST DONALD TRUMP JR., HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE HEAD SAYS "other than ad hominems?:roll:
 
Mueller needs to be brought up on charges. read Spygate.

Schiff must stumble over the piles of uncharged flagrantly lying democrat witnesses before Congress in order to get to Trump Jr. to try to find fault with possibly one or two statements which could possibly be misunderstood and twisted in a way to be thought to have been misleading. Just like leftists do with President Trump's statements.
 
...and the House Dem's Kabuki Theater continues.

Think about it...Mueller already has all of the transcripts. Nunes has already turned them over to the DOJ...https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4951550-House-intel-transcripts-set-to-be-released.html and Mueller has already used the transcripts in the Stone indictment.

This nonsense from Schiffty does nothing but set things up for the House impeachment plans.

As I said...Kabuki Theater.

Well, Mueller obviously doesn't have all of them.
 
Well, Mueller obviously doesn't have all of them.

Why 'obviously'? They already sent the transcripts from 53 witnesses, including Donald Trump Jr. This is more Theater by Schiff.

I wonder if Mueller can even look at a congressional perjury charge without additional expansion of scope from the DOJ, which he's not likely to get.
 
Always reminded of this when I see Adam Schiff ....

That time Adam Schiff went of Putin's propaganda channel Russia Today to discuss US spying techniques....

 
If the Russia investigation is a "nothingburger witch hunt", then why the hell did so many trump associates lie to various government bodies?

It is nothing burgers.
they claimed they lied about not listing a meeting or 2 with other political representatives.

this is so loose on the lying charge that it is laughable.
i bet if i asked mueller who he met with 10 years ago and to write it down i could bust him for perjury charges as well.

more so if he doens't list everyone he ever met in that years time. that is why this whole thing is just pure bunk.
mueller doesn't have anything and keeps the fishing expedition going.

So far none of the charges include collusion or attempt to overthrow a US election.
