How to lie and not perjure yourself


Recommended Posts

This was an interesting read yesterday... 

In other words, even if hearsay rules applied to congressional hearings (and, one last time, they don’t), the overwhelming majority of Hutchinson’s testimony would likely have been admissible — either because it wasn’t hearsay in the first place or because it was admissible hearsay owing to the nature of the statements and/or the refusal of those who made the statements about which she testified to put themselves in front of the Jan. 6 committee

The point here is one that even lawyers often forget — that Hutchinson’s testimony isn’t just about evidence; it is evidence itself. And that evidence is deeply important to the Jan. 6 committee’s work of fully unearthing the events leading up to and culminating in the violence at the Capitol. People are free to choose not to believe her (people are free to believe the Earth is flat), but contra the claims of Trump’s defenders, there’s just nothing inherently unreliable about virtually all of Hutchinson’s testimony and nothing inappropriate about the committee’s soliciting it and relying upon it.

"As of now, it is hearsay," Tapper said.

Raskin replied: "Oh, sure. We’re not in a court of law, and we’re not charging anybody with any particular offense."

It’s not hearsay you fuckin dolt. She was under oath and until someone denies it under oath it’s truth.

Ya see how this works?

 

 

You can not testify as to what someone else told to you or what someone else told you they heard from someone else unless that person is present to testify and be cross examined other wise it's hearsay

 

What is hearsay in simple terms?
 
Broadly defined, "hearsay" is testimony or documents quoting people who are not present in court. When the person being quoted is not present, establishing credibility becomes impossible, as does cross-examination. As such, hearsay evidence is inadmissible.

Imagine the desperation of hanging your hat on fucking hearsay? The liberals are literally turning the law on it's head to get Orange Man Bad.

Want an example of the hearsay rule? A dying declaration minutes before death.
