    Gee, what is it called again when you get caught lying to a judge? Probably not something where we have a special name and crime just for that…

    …That’s perjury on top of acting in contempt of court. Is there some reason why he hasn’t already been put in shackles for that?

    On a separate note, Bovino is so stupid. He has no clue that he’s being set up to be the fall guy. He’s racking up all the points to get all of the excesses of this evil operation in Chicago pinned squarely on him. He’s giving the ghouls at the top plausible deniability should accountability ever come.

      Someone needs to be willing to prosecute it. And since it is a federal court I believe it would need to be a federal prosecutor. That should answer your question.

      Apparently lying means you get away with whatever you have done before they figured out you were lying, but you just have to not lie in the future.

      Just kidding, you can keep lying in the future as long as you are one of the fascists.

        I’m not an attorney but that was also my naive understanding based on a life of intermittent consumption of law-themed fiction
