Any government employee (elected or appointed) speaking in the authority of their government position should be considered as under oath and any lies should be considered purgery with all expected consequences.
Agreed, full clarity and disclosure, of things that are going on, as long it’s not about the security of the country. No more double talk, on what ever they are talking about. It’s time all American’s are filling informed on things that government is doing.
Technically, when a government employee is first assigned to his/her elected position and takes an oath to serve, uphold, and defend the Constitution, that oath remains in effect for the duration of the time that he/she represents his/her public office in any official capacity – including when addressing the public.
Perhaps you might include some actionable teeth for this proposal, like having their written sworn oath made available to the people via some public watchdog website, while also allowing the American People to upload/document/track evidence of lies that were stated to the public, with concrete steps that the public might take to hold them accountable for such lies. Just my two cents.
We can’t take that one step feather, with the age of the Internet, have them take the oath on video, that we all can see and it will be there for over as well those of us who repost, save stuff, we can hold them accountable then.
Love this one.
