I expected an argument, but the fact is we'll have to wait to see what the FBI found and why this is being referred to the DOJ. Don't know what was found. The Supreme Court is under the DOJ. We all get to wait to see what happens. Can you understand this? You have been making one misleading statement after another, followed by links that supposedly support those statements. They do not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHunter Posted November 4, 2018 #32 Share Posted November 4, 2018 53 minutes ago, Agent0range said: OK? And? You can't be investigated for perjury if you don't testify under oath...so what exactly is being investigated? Kavanaugh can go after them for defamation if he wants to...but you can't lie to congress if you didn't talk to congress... That just isnt true, you can be charged for perjury for written documents and since the letter was submitted to congress as an honest document one could be charged with perjury and lieing to congress for writing a fake letter to congress. How perjury is defined Whoever— (1) having taken an oath before a competent tribunal, officer, or person, in any case in which a law of the United States authorizes an oath to be administered, that he will testify, declare, depose, or certify truly, or that any written testimony, declaration, deposition, or certificate by him subscribed, is true, willfully and contrary to such oath states or subscribes any material matter which he does not believe to be true; or (2) in any declaration, certificate, verification, or statement under penalty of perjury as permitted under section 1746 of title 28, United States Code, willfully subscribes as true any material matter which he does not believe to be true; is guilty of perjury and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided by law, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. This section is applicable whether the statement or subscription is made within or without the United States. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1621 Ultimately submitting a letter that one knows is false to congress can be charged with perjury despite not testifying. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grassley might have referred her for investigation, but, considering it isn't a crime to tell a lie to the press, I'm pretty sure that he did so for purely political purposes. She could not possibly be charged. All of the articles you've posted seem to have one thing in common: they have attention-grabbing, misleading titles. That you've now posted many articles and have yet to see this is a testament to just how effective this Republican spin will be. There must be loads of people who now believe that there are actually Kavanaugh accusers who have admitted to fabricating their accusations. Kinda crazy to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan max2 Posted November 4, 2018 #37 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) To clear up for people what it looks like the articles are saying. The articles are saying that this lady admits to lieing. She recieved a "jane doe" letter, as in a anonymous letter, From someone claiming Kavanaugh raped her. Then this lady took the anonymous letter and claimed that what was in the letter happened to her. Now she admits that she never once met kavanough and that the letter was not even hers. So yes this lady lied about herself being raped. Edited November 4, 2018 by spartan max2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else hasn't actually read the articles. What on earth is going on? She did not write the letter. She is not claiming that the content of the letter is false. She is claiming she lied when she first claimed authorship of the letter. She cannot be prosecuted for this lie. People seem to be reading this headline and thinking it says 'Author of letter admits to making up claims in letter'. I wonder how many more people will come into the thread to claim the same thing.

Idk if what she did can be counted as legal or illegal, but she literally lied about being raped. By claiming authorship of a letter that states the author of the letter got raped, you are claiming that you yourself got raped.

That is the whole point of all of the articles in the OP. There is more to it then that, the article just does a poor job of explaining what is actually going on. First there was the anonymous Jane doe letter in question that was never collaborated submitted to the judicial committee that said Kavanaugh raped someone in the back seat of a car. Judy Munro-Leighton then sent a letter to the committee claiming to be the Jane doe in an attempt to delay the hearing and waste time on further potential investigating. The letter she sent claiming to be Jane doe is what is getting her into legal trouble and not the Jane doe letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan max2 Posted November 4, 2018 #43 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I guess the letter wasn't even sent to her she just saw it in the news and claimed it. "Investigators got in touch with her over the phone and Munro-Leighton admitted she wrote the email after seeing the "Jane Doe" letter in news reports. She said she claimed to be Jane Doe so the letter would gain attention, "I was angry and I sent it out," the woman told investigators, according to Grassley's letter, but in fact did not write it."

Unless she appeared in front of Congress or the FBI, claiming to be the author, she cannot possibly be charged with a crime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this situation is worth pointing out because when it came to Kavanaugh everyone suddenly got amnesia to the fact that people lie in high stakes politics. Rape victims are often not belived and is a huge problem, that also does not mean that all accusations are true. The timing for the kavanough scandal was to perfect to not have skeptical lenses on. I agree the thread title is a little misleading Edited November 4, 2018 by spartan max2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
