Kirstjen Nielsen perjured herself. Here's the exchange from December 2018, when she was under oath:

@RepJerryNadler: Are you doing anything that would reduce your capacity to process X number of people per day at the ports?
Nielsen: No sir.

@DHSOIG today says that was a lie.

The question from @RepJerryNadler to Nielsen asked about reducing CBP capacity "to process X number of people" per day, and @DHSOIG reveals that Nielsen not only knew that "X = 650," she personally signed off on those policies herself five months earlier.

Here is the full clip of Kirstjen Nielsen testifying under oath in December 2018 about metering at ports of entry.

I strongly encourage listening to this 90 second clip, then going back one tweet and reading what @DHSOIG found.

It seems clearly perjury.

For some reason @DHSOIG has taken down the copy of the report they posted earlier today. Here's a link in the meantime. adamisacson.com/files/OIG-21-0…

Here's another clip from the same hearing: c-span.org/video/?c491966…

@RepJerryNadler: "Are you engaged in any effort to increase processing capacity at ports?"

Nielsen: "Yes sir"

Again, the OIG report strongly suggests that was completely false.
