"While Kennedy was not under oath during his confirmation hearing, lying to Congress even while not under oath — though rarely prosecuted — is still a federal crime and can be punished by up to five years in prison."

Here's WIKIPEDIA:

Rita Marie Lavelle (born September 8, 1947) is a United States and California State Republican political figure. In 1984, Lavelle was convicted on federal charges of perjury related to an investigation into misuse of the United States Environmental Protection Agency's "Superfund" money during her tenure with the agency, and irregularities at the Stringfellow Acid Pits, a major hazardous waste site. The Lavelle incident was labeled "Sewergate" or "Garbagegate" by the newspapers at the time. [...]

In 1984, Lavelle was convicted of lying to Congress and served three months of a six-month prison sentence, paid a $10,000 fine and was under probation for five years.

Lavelle is the ONLY person I could find in WIKIPEDIA who was actually IMPRISONED for lying to the U.S. Congress.

I want this to happen to RFK Junior. Badly. He should get the full five years, in memory of the lost children of Samoa.

5 years without any raccoon penises? CRUEL AND INHUMAN!!

Olivia Nuzzi, the journalist who was infatuated with RFK Jr., apparently wrote about all the pills that fell out of his bag, that he's still using psychedelics. and now it's come out that he got a lot of donations from a company that sells Kratom tonic at gas stations

Not surprising in the least

My maternal great grandmother was deafened by measles, her 3 year old little sister died in the arms of their mother. Even though both my mother and grandmother had anaphylaxis from vaccines they never ceased to make sure that we were given every vaccine that came out. They witnessed deaths and paralysis from polio and other diseases before there were vaccines for them.

RFK, Jr is still angry that his parents had 11 children. In reality he would have like that particular herd to have been thinned in childhood.

RFK, Jr. is a eugenicist. He doesn't care about those dead kids. They were weak. If they'd been helped to survive, they would have ended up being a burden on society, a burden on the taxpayers.

Death is universally natural.

I'm an old. So old that there were no vaccines, other than smallpox and polio. As a result, I had every childhood illness there was--mumps, measles, chicken pox, rubella. Even scarlet fever.

The measles left me hearing-impaired, due to the high fevers. I spent two weeks in a dark room with my eyes bandaged because my parents were worried about my sight. But no one thought about my hearing.

But I'm hearing-impaired. It only gets worse as I get older. A cousin developed encephalitis.

'Natural measles' my hindparts!

"There are consequences for lying to Congress"

Really? 'Cause I haven't seen them yet. And with Jefferies talking to Prince Kushner, I'm not inclined to believe there are going to be any anytime soon.

Well, looking at that picture I guess we all know what the kids'll be wearing this Halloween...

“Natural measles” = let the inferior die to make way for the superior.

Bobby Brain Worm is on record as saying “only the very sick should die from the measles.”

Should die.

Those are the words he used.

Never in the course of American history has anyone blessed with so much abundance squandered his heritage so miserably

RFK Jr. Is just drawing on the knowledge he received in classrooms studying epidemiologuy virology and infectious disease to inform his views. Or would have if he in fact had ever spent a single semester in a basic Science 101 class
