From "ATU Truth" (people involved in Hanley recall)

Greetings.
The matter now rests with the U.S. Department of Labor...
There are folks who, in good faith, were ardent supporters of the Hanley/Baker campaign slate. They did things that they believed, or were told, were legal and above-board. They may find themselves, however, being interviewed by U.S. Department of Labor investigators. If so, it is important to know that a person can do something legal and still be criminally liable if they are later untruthful to a government agent. That is the situation that sent Martha Stewart to prison. She was convicted, not for insider trading, but for being less than honest when talking to a federal agent:
Title 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any
matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or
judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly
and willfully -(1) falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or
device a material fact;(2) makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent
statement or representation; or(3) makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the
same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent
statement or entry;shall be fined. . .[or]. . . imprisoned not more than 5 years . . . or
both.
