We can do better. Real journalism requires facts, not just assertions.
"When a person is prosecuted, there are separate federal regulations for perjury specifically and lying to the feds generally. Under the United States Code, title 18, section 1001, a person who knowingly or willingly makes a material statement that is false, or fraudulent, to the feds, is guilty of a crime. What comes as a surprise to many is that unlike section 1621, section 1001 does not require that a person be under oath.
The difficulty that comes in prosecuting these crimes is the requirement that the statements be made knowingly or willingly. This allows those being accused of, or investigated for, perjury, to assert a lack of knowledge at the time of the statement that the statement was false. However, this may not be compelling enough to defeat or avoid a prosecution if contradictory evidence exists. Additionally, individuals who lie out of fear, or provide evasive answers, during a federal investigation, frequently find themselves facing the threat of federal prosecution."

Trying to teach anons how to think.
Are there some lazy minds here?
I'll cut anons a break. Maybe some anons never saw real journalism.
You grab a thread and start pulling on it. You ask questions and pull on all of them too. You construct the logical connections and write down what you find and what the proof is.
Then you are RIGHT and you can WRITE.
