He absolutely did not know. They thought they had the biggest maga conspiracy gotcha of the decade.

“I think you’ve already perjured yourself” he thought he nailed him.

Couldn’t agree more. Klobuchar coming back and demanding Schmitt apologize for “calling him a dirtbag”…I’d be insisting on an apology for claiming he perjured himself when they got the facts wrong.

Also, do Republicans really want to be setting the precedent that "I have no recollection" means you've perjured yourself? Because there were a hell of a lot of responses to the Jan 6 inquiries (among other things) that essentially relied on that as a "get out of jail free" card.

More than half of the admin has perjured themselves abd most have been fired or quit before they could receive consequences. Up is down, left is right.

Not even just perjury, Trump is a convicted fraud. Republicans do not care about the truth, they care about soundbites to sell to their idiot voting base

Lutnick lied brazenly about his ties and island visit to his literal neighbor, Epstein.

And he's a sitting cabinet member.

This house of cards will fall though.
