I will never understand why it is illegal to lie to congress. This is a law that really makes my blood boil and it is probably the law that most brazenly demonstrates that politicians can do whatever the fuck they want while we suffer the consequences of their actions.
These idiots are trying to send Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens to jail, two people whose crimes didn't hurt a single person.
Meanwhile Holder is free to lie about a gun running program that cost numerous people their lives, The bush administration is free to lie about things which got us into a war that cost thousands of peoples lives, Pelosi and Clinton are free to lie, and the list goes on and on and on.
Does anyone remember a single case where a high level politician was prosecuted and went to jail for lying congress? These politicians entire career is based on lying, i cant think of a single politician where it would be tough to find a long laundry list of them lying to the public, but we allow these sanctimonious assholes to prosecute us for it.
The real place these riots should be going on is not NYC, but outside of congress, and Eric Holder, like all his lying predecessors, probably wont even lose his job, even though it is supposedly illegal to lie to congress, and it is blatantly obvious Holder is lying and that his stupidity has cost americans their lives.
Every time a politician screws up and is dragged in front of congress, and they inevitably lie their way out of the situation, i am reminded of what a joke this law is.
