The ranking member of the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), raised eyebrows on Thursday after she sent independent journalist Matt Taibbi a letter asking if he would like to correct his under-oath testimony before her committee and noted the five-year jail sentence for perjury.
Plaskett noted an error Taibbi made in his ‘Twitter Files’ reporting, which was very publicly called out by MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan. Taibbi acknowledged the error – mistaking the government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency with the privately run Center for Internet Security – and issued a correction.
