On Thursday, the Attorney General admitted that his Department of "Justice" lied to Congress about "Fast & Furious."
But--said he--it wasn't really "a lie" because, after all, the liar who sent the lies did not INTEND to lie.
Seems to be a mantra. Here's the "non-lie lie" crap coming from another Obozo-ite who had lied about firing the IG of Amtrak:
In a meeting with Grassley, Eisen apologized for his statements to investigators. In the letter, Eisen writes, "It is now my understanding that I answered a few of the questions inaccurately, although at the time I thought they were accurate. Of course, it was not my intent to mislead staff ...."
It's likely that Justice Kagan will get the memo soon, and state that she did not INTEND to lie about her involvement in ObozoCare.
It is noteworthy that all the principals here are lawyers.
They're on better ground than usual, this time: see section 4 of St. Augustine's De mendacio.
ReplyDeleteI don't question the moral rules.
ReplyDeleteBut it occurs that the "lack of intent" is statistically suspect.
This falls WAY short of bar set by the former administration in 2001-2003.
