1. Margaret Stock:

   The administration is deporting as many criminal aliens as possible for the numbers, but it does n’t take into account military service, most people also don’t understand how complicated immigration law really is and how easy it is to run afoul of these complex laws. Making matters worse, Margaret Stock said, is that defendants in deportation cases are not automatically given attorneys and often ca n’t afford to hire their own, resulting in many being wrongfully deported. Any lawful permanent resident, veteran or not, can be deported upon conviction of a crime that falls under the extremely broad umbrella of a Crime Involving Moral Turpitude. This can be either a misdemeanor or felony, and typically includes anything from assault, fraud and perjury to robbery, theft and bribery. The rulings are often viewed by immigration lawyers as arbitrary and the immigration code now includes scores of petty offenses listed alongside the severe ones, all punishable by deportation. Still, the federal government is very deliberate in its review of cases involving veterans, insisted Gillian Christensen, spokeswoman for the U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement( ICE).

   Because I am clearly under investigation now and no attorney in their right mind would allow you to put yourself in that jeopardy, because this is not about Russian collusion, it's about the parsing of words. It's about process crimes and perjury traps, and I decline to participate.

3. Rudy Giuliani:

   If you interpret his comment about firing... Comey... If you interpret that as obstructing the investigation, as opposed to removing a guy who was doing a bad job, on the recommendation, in part, of( Deputy Attorney General Rod) Rosenstein, but you see it as obstructing the investigation, then you can say it is obstruction, and then you can say it is perjury, which is even easier for them, which is where I think, if they are sneaky, they are going.

4. Russell Ainsworth:

   We need an experienced prosecutor to investigate perjury. We do not need a prosecutor accused of perjury, that's not the kind of experience required for a thorough job.

5. Alan Dershowitz:

   And its the Democrats who want to know why there wasnt charges. They want to know what the split was between those who wanted to charge and not charge an obstruction of justice. The law does not authorize that to be released. Dershowitz said Barr can use his discretion when it comes to the release of the Mueller report, but no court should order him to release the entire thing. He also warned that innocent people can fall for perjury traps.
