Shenanigans

Once again, folks: It isn't the crime, it's the cover-up that sinks these nitwits.

A former Iowa lawmaker has pleaded guilty to federal charges stemming from his switch of support from one Republican candidate for president to another before the 2012 caucuses, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Former state Sen. Kent Sorenson received "under the table payments" before switching loyalties from U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's campaign, which he headed in Iowa, to then-U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, and then lying to federal investigators about it, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Prosecutors refused to say which campaign paid him.

Don't any of these imbeciles know that it's a felony beef to lie to a Federal investigator? If you lie to them, they don't have to prove anything else. They only have to prove that you lied about a material fact and it's off to the Crossbar Hilton for you.

If a Fed wants to talk to you, you have two choices: Tell the truth or shut the fuck up and call your lawyer. (Probably should call your lawyer anyway.) Don't try to fib your way out of it. You'll only get caught.
