It's posturing to make him look relevant to ignorant people.
Are you actually aware of the concept of Separation of Powers?
Do you think that some random senator is able to order the DOJ to charge someone with a crime?
Seriously?
So lying to Congress is illegal, but "who cares?!" ...because no one can do anything about it ... is what you are saying?
i.e., no one has ever been punished for lying to Congress??
Seriously?
What makes you think I believe any of this nonsense?
Or do you want to know how someone can get prosecuted for lying too Congress? Are you just ignorant about how this works?
Do you think that the normall process is that a Senator forces the DOJ to charge a person?
Do seriously want Senators to have that kind of power?
Do you seriously believe it's legal to lie to Congress?
Seriously??
And you're OK with that???
No, I'm not saying that. What on Earth makes you think so?
What I am saying is that a random Senator cannot compel the DOJ to charge someone with a crime.
You on the other hand seem to be of the opinion that Senators should have that power.
Do you have any idea how the justice system works in the USA?
You really cannot be that ignorant, can you?
