The Absurd GOP

[Angrboda]

There's an interesting wrinkle in the Comey case being that the lie he ostensibly told Congress was his affirmation of prior testimony he made in 2017. There's an argument to be made that his affirming his prior testimony by saying he stood by it was not in itself a lie, even if that 2017 testimony was untruthful. It's not clear that saying he stood by his former testimony is itself a false statement, and the statute of limitation for the prior 2017 statement had already expired.
