Was the answer relevant? I'm betting not because if it was I'm betting the result would have been different, eg: maybe the depo would have been sealed (a Judge can do that, right?)

Who invented the special prosecutor law? As Democratic Presidential Candidate Al Sharpton says, "you reap what you sow".
And again, for the non-litigator, I ask, assuming a suit that survives a motion to dismiss and a question that is relevant is there something in the law that let's a defendant being sued lie, if they feel the deposing party is harassing them?

I didn't say people get prosecuted for perjury in similar cases all the time and burger didn't ask me if it was common. He asked if "someone", an individual would be similarly prosecuted. the answer is yes.
