    Not being under oath when questioned did not prevent Flynn from being prosecuted when he lied to the FBI.

    You calling anyone an "idiot" is comical.

    It makes no real difference; false statements under 18 USC sec. 1001 or lying under oath (perjury) under 18 USC sec. 1621 have the same penalty; a fine or up to 5 years in prison or both.

    Trump and the GOP, the loud and proud party of law and order who showed up at every law enforcement event for the last 30 years, suddenly does a 180 when these same law enforcement folks start investigating "The Donald"

    We've been lied to enough already.
    What makes you think he cares about oaths? Ask his former business associates how much he cares about honesty.

    Well, you can just watch any random video of him speaking and you know what he thinks about truth and facts.

    Yes but only if these codes apply, AND the burden of proof differs, thus the difference in charges applied.
