    Same thing happened with Mueller and all the claims of a “perjury trap.” It isn’t a trap when the prosecutor asks someone under oath if they committed a crime related to the current trial. It’s literally upholding the law.

    If the only options a defendant has, are to say they committed a crime under oath, or lie, then they did commit a crime.

      “Perjury trap” was definitely one of the more ridiculous things they came up with. It’s easy to not be caught in such a thing by not lying.
