DHS acknowledges they and Trump lied about the noncitizen numbers it touted on voter rolls

But more than a month after President Trump touted in a primetime address that his administration had found more than 250,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls of Nevada and just three other states, those states are still asking for proof or even a complete list of the voters federal officials say should be investigated.

In the Nevada call, federal officials did more to detail how they arrived at their numbers, but their statements also undermined the broader claim that American elections are rife with noncitizen voters.

But that's OK, it was in the past so doesn't count.

Did anyone lie under oath? Like to the senate or in a court hearing?

Because lying under oath can get you thrown in jail, or fined, or both. If anyone bothers to prosecute that sort of thing anymore.

Anyone who Trump has tried to put in a court with claims of election stealing has had their license for practicing law stripped. It's a lot different when you lie in court, and that's why he's never said that where it can burn him.

Ahh, I hate to be one of those people, but he's done so many criminal/impeachable crimes out in the open, that it doesn't really matter.

Just another impeachable criminal offense to add to the pile. Fucker does five criminal impeachable offenses per day.

Hahahahaha, why would they? They announce things fundamentally incompatible with reality for sound bites and then media and congress do all the lying for them. Under oath, they act like they don't remember anything before breakfast.
