The political activist who filed a federal defamation lawsuit against Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert vowed to seek perjury charges against the MAGA mouthpiece for allegedly making a fact-challenged declaration in federal court, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

David B. Wheeler, the head of the political action committee (PAC) American Muckrakers, charged the two-term Republican allegedly fibbed in the sworn statement seeking to dismiss the case — and he’s eager to grill Boebert in an all-encompassing deposition.

"We intend to refer Boebert to the appropriate authorities when we prove she lied on the affidavit she attached to her motion to dismiss," Wheeler exclusively told RadarOnline.com. "We're going to hold her feet to the fire…We’re going to ask her on the record, under the penalty of perjury.”

"I've had lawyers say they would pay me to be in the room for Boebert's deposition" he added. "This will be the mother of all depositions because she’s opened so many cans of worms. We're going to talk about Jan. 6th, we're going to talk about abortions and everything else.”

As RadarOnline.com reported, Boebert was forced to declare she has “never been a drug addict or stripper” in the sensational lawsuit in Colorado federal court where she is accused of slandering Wheeler on television news by refuting his allegations.

Cue more hollering from Trumplandia about "lawfare". Maybe if they didn't break the law so often they wouldn't be vulnerable to it!

The fucking nerve. That's the only avenue left to fight dumb laws or entities not following the not-yet-dumb laws. It's not like shame or political action has had any effect.

Not to mention that the 1% and the corporations they run have been using "lawfare" for-fucking-ever to out-spend and threaten their opponents.

Yeah my mate went on a rant about it always being republicans getting charged lately. I was like, well they're the ones doing most of the crimes lately, soon maybe not do crimes? He got shitty ans changed the subject.

Accept it's been the case for decades, this isn't just lately. The republican party in the modern era has like 10 times the convictions than the democratic party.
