What prevents James Clapper from being punished for deliberately lying to Congress?
25
• August 8, 2013He may yet be prosecuted for perjury. However it is very rare because it is hard to prove. There is some "wiggle room" in how he interpreted the question and his answer. Perjury is difficult because you have to prove that he lied willingly with the intent to deceive. Wyden put him in a tough spot, if he answers with 100% honesty he is breaking the law by releasing classified information. If he lies he is committing perjury. If he refuses to answer it could be seen by the public that he is acknowledging the program. So it seems like he chose the route of lying as little as possible and hoping for the best. Part of the reason Congress doesn't like to prosecute perjury is that a lot more people would refuse to answer questions at all for fear that an honest answer would be seen as perjury and they would be punished.

• June 13, 2013If James Clapper had admitted it he would have been committing a crime to answer since it would have disclosed classified information. As a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Senator Ron Wyden would have been given briefings on the program and would have known the answer to this question before asking it.
