Then why not have Congress investigate the very specific claims he made to the ICIG (locations, people, companies, projects) and send him to prison if he was lying? Why the passive "it must be false do let's refuse to do anything about it, including bringing him to justice" attitude?
- tsimionescu 3y agoBecause his claims, at least the public ones, we're actually very vague, and an investigation is very likely to not find the things he's claiming, but also not be able to rule them out to a level where he could be indicted (beyond a reasonable doubt). So there is very little upside to the huge waste of money and time.

Lying to Congress under oath is a felony. Grusch testified under oath to Congress. He could be indicted and sent to prison. I would appreciate a little bit of charity in the interest of having a friendly conversation.
