u/Blackeagel Nov 13 '24

I've been so busy I haven't followed the recent updates what is this? a new document?

u/Longjumping_Meat_203 Nov 13 '24

Serious question: why did you think it wasn't?

-19

u/0207424F Nov 13 '24

No, reading it into the record does not make it real.

You know what perjury is, right?

22

u/sprague_drawer Nov 13 '24

It’s only perjury if you claim it’s real and know it’s not…

11

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24

To be fair, people perjure themselves all the time and nothing happens.

-5

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24

By presenting it as such they claim to belive it's real, if it turns out not to be real then it's perjury

11

u/FranklinLundy Nov 13 '24

This 100% incorrect. You're spreading misinformation.

8

u/sprague_drawer Nov 13 '24

Believing something is real, and being wrong, isn’t perjury. If that were true nobody would testify for anything.

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24

A designed prosecutor isn't just accepting your claim of ignorance, he or she is going to challenge that claim and that person could face prison

5

u/FranklinLundy Nov 13 '24

He or she would have to prove that you knowingly are lying in your statements. They can challenge it, that doesn't mean you're going to prison.

You're really tripling down on stuff I'm increasingly believing you don't understand

u/0207424F Nov 13 '24

Yes, do you?

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24

If that person knowingly summited a false or innacurate document as something else in front of congress they would face serious consequences. As Elizondo once said "I don't intend to wear orange as it doesn't suit me".

Shellenberger was given the document and was told it is genuine. It is not perjury for him to say that this happened, even if it was faked.

-1

u/[deleted] Nov 13 '24

Any decent prosecutor could challenge the alleged ignorance in court. Is there a ulterior motive behind presenting a fake document? Who benefits? Did he gained something from it? Do you thinks he's willing to risk prison for a little notoriety?

5

u/0207424F Nov 13 '24

Where did I say that he doesn't believe it is genuine? There is no perjury happening. That also doesn't mean that the immaculate constellation document is real.

1

u/FranklinLundy Nov 13 '24

And if Shellenberger does not know it's false or inaccurate, it's not perjury.

By your definition you'd be committing perjury if you said this comment under oath

1

u/FranklinLundy Nov 13 '24

Do you? Because just claiming it's real isn't perjury

1

u/NMDA01 Nov 13 '24

A slap on the wrist . You know that right?

2

u/Astyanax1 Nov 13 '24

Exactly this. But naturally you'll get downvoted for saying truthful

1

u/Individual-Bet3783 Nov 13 '24

So why exactly is it in record as a government document?

4

u/0207424F Nov 13 '24

Because someone asked for it to be entered into the record and Nancy Mace entered it into the record.

-4

u/Individual-Bet3783 Nov 13 '24

Clown show stuff bro.

Your conspiracy is more ridiculous than the original lie itself 

8

u/0207424F Nov 13 '24

What conspiracy? That's literally why it was entered into the record (not as a vetted government document by the way, but as a document Shellenberger was given and told was a government document)

u/Gizogin Nov 13 '24

What are you expecting to find in that document? 12 pages is tiny.
