The Hitchens - Galloway Debate

[tagos]

@BrainGlutton

I predict the Senate will not “charge” Galloway because it has no authority to bring indictments – that would be up the Justice Department – and because all accusations against Galloway relate to acts alleged to have been committed by foreign nationals in foreign countries, so the Justice Department couldn’t indict him either. Could it?

So lying under oath to a Senate Committee has no consequences to a foreign national? Coleman seems to think the US can do something.

Sen Coleman urged Mr Galloway to allow investigators to see “other account information” to which they had been unable to gain access.

Speaking at a press conference last night, he was asked whether Mr Galloway would be prosecuted for perjury. He responded: “We will forward matters relating to Mr Galloway’s false and misleading testimony to the authorities here and in Great Britain.”

Mr Galloway’s riposte was: “I’ll see you in court.”

I’ll see you in court

Lets see if the commission puts up or shuts up, methinks there will be no shutting up, but also little putting up, time will tell.
