If I recall correctly, there is some constitutional provision that members of Congress can’t be held liable for things they say in sessions of Congress. So Adam Schiff can lie as he did and can’t be legally held accountable for lies.

I believe Harry Reid was on the floor of the Senate, when he lied about Mitt Romney not paying taxes. It was because he couldn’t be legally liable for anything he said while inside of the Congress. The floors of Congress are a “safe space”.

But I get the overall point. How in the sam hill can a Congressman read into the record what was supposedly the record of what was said in the conversation in question, and then afterward say it was a parody? This dude is a parody of a Congressman.

But how many times did Nancy and others say “Nobody’s above the law” Or maybe the LAW doesn’t pertain to them? I’m confused.

Desperate Democrats take advantage of televised sessions of Congress to trick their low-information supporters into reelecting them.

Also, each House has the power to expel bad-apple members. But when many members of a House are corrupt then, clearly, no member has to worry about being expelled.

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
