Granholm claimed she made a mistake when she lied during an April 20th congressional hearing. Ironically, April 20th is Adolf Hitler's birthday, and Granholm, well, never mind. She made the admission in a letter she sent Friday about the claim that she didn't own any individual stocks. She does, and she owned shares in six companies that she evidently forgot about when she lied.
Her lie was meant to go along with her testimony she gave during her confirmation hearing in 2021 whereby she lied saying she divested from stocks that could conflict with her future work, just like Nancy Pelosi and most congressional folks do.
“As you know, as part of the confirmation process before this Committee, in 2021 I divested from assets that could be in conflict with my official duties,” Granholm wrote in the lying letter obtained by Fox News Digital. “I did, however, retain assets that were determined by Government ethics officials to not conflict with my official duties.”
“I mistakenly told the Committee that I did not own any individual stocks, whereas I should have said that I did not own any conflicting stocks. In order to make my financial holdings consistent with my testimony, on May 18, 2023, I divested my remaining stock holdings which consisted of stock in six companies, even though these assets were deemed non-conflicting,” she continued in her lies.
For context, lying to Congress is a federal crime that could carry a punishment as harsh as a sneer and wagging of fingers, and Granholm is admitting to the crime of lying in her letter.
But at least she admitted that she's a damn liar--Biden and Adam Schiff never do.
