Coons’ letter also cited the referral Grassley sent the Justice Department calling for it to investigate alleged false statements Republicans accused Christopher Steele — the ex-British spy who assembled the Trump-Russia dossier — of making to the FBI.

That’s a nice touch …

“We’re not asking for Jr. to be referred to DOJ for a criminal investigation. We just want you to call him back in before the committee for more questioning.”

By comparison, a perfectly reasonable request …

That will be denied.

Hey Junior, do you think daddy will save your sorry ass if you go down for this? Do you think he’s capable of love?

Right.

I don’t believe that one must be sworn in to testify before congress.

Lying, like grifting and philandering, is a family business for the Trumps.

This was a Boehner era rule so John could regularly step into the alley and burn one.

“We’d like to thank Senator Coons for jogging my client’s memory regarding contact with foreign nationals allegedly seeking to influence the 2016 Presidential campaign. It was a busy time for Donald Trump, Jr and he understandably cannot be expected to remember each and every meeting he was included in, nor the participants in those meetings. We would be glad to take the committee up on their generous offer to re-visit their questions and submit amended testimony. We would also like to thank all the members for graciously understanding any oversights or misstatements on Mr. Trump’s part were unintentional and in no way meant to mislead or deceive during their inquiries.”

It’s in 18 USC §1001 that Sen. Coons cited in his letter.

(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation;

shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

© With respect to any matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch, subsection (a) shall apply only to—

(2) any investigation or review, conducted pursuant to the authority of any committee, subcommittee, commission or office of the Congress, consistent with applicable rules of the House or Senate.

Part of me would like to see Jr. Ivanka and Jared prosecuted just to see Orange Pinochet quake and rage Twitter.
