WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—After James Comey’s arraignment on Wednesday, experts warned that indicting everyone who has lied to Congress would dangerously overcrowd the nation’s prisons.
According to imprisonment expert Davis Logsdon of the University of Minnesota, “If we’re going to put all the people who lied to Congress in prison, we’re going to need a shit-ton more prisons.”
“You’re looking at mass incarceration on an unprecedented scale,” he cautioned.
One cost-efficient solution, he said, would be to repurpose the White House as a federal penitentiary since so many eventual inmates are already there.
