This is awful. The answer is of course there is no difference between lying and misleading. It is the same word for ALL intentions. For ANY AND ALL use.
Rep. James Sensenbrenner asked Holder: “Tell me what's the difference between lying and misleading Congress, in this context?”
Holder's response is a bit Clintonian. NO, IT WAS HORRIBLE. HIS RESPONSE WAS HORRIBLE.
“Well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that would be considered perjury or a lie,"
That is, it was not intended as a factual statement.
Holder said. "The information that was provided by the February 4th letter was gleaned by the people who drafted the letter after they interacted with people who they thought were in the best position to have the information.”
OK. THAT IS A WTF MOMENT. FIRE THAT CLOWN!
