I believe the lack of charges for lying to Congress does lend a little credibility to the story he tells.
Comment on Well...that was anticlimactic
UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 10 months agoSomeone with government connections is claiming things that he can’t back up with evidence. Nobody cares because “the government” didn’t confirm shit. Even the guy making the claim said he couldn’t talk about it because it’s classified.

He claimed he heard somebody say something.
How the fuck is a prosecution going to disprove that?
His claims aren’t real enough for people to call it lies, the very same reason why sensible people don’t find what he said worth anything on its own.

The tobacco execs who testified to Congress that nicotine was harmless and non-addictive didn't get charges, either. Does that lend credibility to the claim that cigarettes are good for you?
Fuck no, it doesn't. Because nobody has ever been charged for lying to Congress. Even when they've been bald-faced directly lying to Congress.

For that matter Zuckerberg and the exec from Tik Tok are both walking free.

Admittedly I’m a bit cynical. I really won’t believe it until I see substantial evidence.
