THE MUELLER EXONERATION OF TRUMP SETS THE STAGE FOR THE HUBER PROSECUTIONS OF [THEM]

 

Sarah Sanders asks whether Hillary Clinton will be arrested if lying to the FBI is a crime

 

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders openly wondered if the FBI would be raiding the homes of Hillary Clinton, James Comey and James Clapper Friday morning after Roger Stoneโ€™s indictment.

 

The FBI raided the Florida home of Trump-confidant Roger Stone Friday morning after Stone was indicted by a grand jury on charges with seven counts, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing a government investigation.

 

The high-profile indictments were brought by special counsel Robert Mueller in the second year of the Russia collusion investigation.

 

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded to the Roger Stone news Friday in an early interview with CNN. Sanders wondered if the same standards the FBI is employing with Stone would apply to other players in the 2016 election who have lied to the FBI.

 

When asked by CNN about the recent arrest, Sanders said, โ€œWeโ€™ll let the courts make the decision. A bigger question is: If this is the standard, will the same standard apply to people like Hillary Clinton, James Comey and [James] Clapper?โ€

 

Clinton, former FBI director James Comey and former CIA Director James Clapper have all allegedly made false statements or been dishonest with the authorities during moments of official testimony.

 

Sanders continued, asking, โ€œWill we see the same people we know have all made false statements? Will that same standard apply? Thatโ€™s a question weโ€™ll see what happens on that front.โ€

5 people who lied to Congress, and what happened to them

 

That's despite the fact that it isn't just a federal crime to lie to Congress while under oath โ€” considered the โ€œgeneral perjury" statute โ€” itโ€™s also illegal to make false statements to Congress even if you're not under oath.

just something I found (not a lawfag):

 

Did you know that it is a crime to tell a lie to the federal government? Even if your lie is oral and not under oath? Even if you have received no warnings of any kind? Even if you are not trying to cheat the government out of money? Even if the government is not actually misled by your falsehood? Well it is.

 

Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 makes it a crime to: 1) knowingly and willfully; 2) make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation; 3) in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States. Your lie does not even have to be made directly to an employee of the national government as long as it is "within the jurisdiction" of the ever expanding federal bureaucracy. Though the falsehood must be "material" this requirement is met if the statement has the "natural tendency to influence or [is] capable of influencing, the decision of the decisionmaking body to which it is addressed." United States v. Gaudin , 515 U.S. 506, 510 (1995). (In other words, it is not necessary to show that your particular lie ever really influenced anyone.) Although you must know that your statement is false at the time you make it in order to be guilty of this crime, you do not have to know that lying to the government is a crime or even that the matter you are lying about is "within the jurisdiction" of a government agency. United States v. Yermian , 468 U.S. 63, 69 (1984). For example, if you lie to your employer on your time and attendance records and, unbeknownst to you, he submits your records, along with those of other employees, to the federal government pursuant to some regulatory duty, you could be criminally liable.
