Reply to comment by thewaldenpuddle in Trump Aide, Granted Immunity, Set to Testify at Grand Jury Probing Mar-a-Lago Documents by hoosakiwi

Wouldn't that be the normal thing to extend immunity to? I admit I don't know a lot about law, but that at least feels right.

No…… my guess is that the immunity applies to not prosecuting him for admission of any crimes on his part during his testimony. But if he LIES under oath….. then I’m assuming he would still be liable for that.

In this case, he has far less incentive to lie, because he can’t be held accountable for anything he says when he tells the truth….

But for people circulating in the trump world….. lying/breathing…. Same, same….

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

I think I had misremembered the meaning of "perjury" anyway as "admitting to a crime while under oath (aside from the one/s being tried)" rather than "lying under oath". Hopefully I'll remember from here on.
