what about "lying under oath" is so hard to understand??? geeesh meanwhile, the trumpturd has even more problems the drip drip drip of trumpturd's colossal corruption and incompetence is building too bad that John Kasich didn't take Trump's offer of being VP, aka making all the decisions as republicons go, Kasich would have been a sane replacement for when Trumpturd gets impeached Pence not so much

Taking a coffee break may be a perfectly normal part of my job, and I assure you I've taken more than one. If under oath I suddenly blurt out, "My goodness gracious, I do declare have never taken a coffee break and I don't know anyone else who has." That's Felony perjury. And like a lot of perjury the fact that my statement sounds so bizarre and out of place is just like someone waving a big red flag. People tend to act weird when they're lying. A perjurer is a dimwitted fellow who can take even an every day common occurrence like taking a coffee break and turn it into a Felony simply by lying about it. The people charged with perjury are usually lawyers, because having passed the Bar and having worked as a prosecutor it doesn't impress the judge if they claim, "Goodness gracious, I had no Earthly idea that telling a fib under oath is perjury." The big penalty for lawyers is they lose their right to practice law. The loss of their livelihood, their reputation and their career identity. It's harsh because it's meant to be. "An attorney is first and foremost* an officer of the court*" and this get drilled into every law school student. They need to know this to pass the Bar. The other people who get prosecuted are people people who give many days of depositions under oath over a long period of investigation and are trying to hide something. Because they're lying, trying to hide something, they lose track of what story they've told previously. This is how the FBI often prosecutes people who they can't find enough evidence on to prosecute for they really did. It's kind of chicken-shit, like getting Al Capone for not paying his taxes - but prison is prison.
