It is not as simple as you make it out to be.
Question for you: Do you think lying to the FBI should be an independent offense? I think it should just be a punishment multiplier at best, and if a person is innocent of all other charges, then the lying offense is moot--no harm, no foul. Also, it should be treated like a summary judgement...all required inferences going in favor of the interviewee.
