Well Eric Holder is now redefining the word "lie".
Isn't it great when we can redefine words to suit our needs ?
Dang it..just give him a lie detector test already.


Eric Holder debates definition of
The questioning was during Thursday morning’s House Judiciary Committee hearing on Operation Fast and Furious.
..
Still unsatisfied, Sensenbrenner followed up again. “Tell me what the difference is between lying and misleading Congress in this context?,” he asked Holder.

Holder responded that whether a statement is a lie or misleading comment depends on what the person making it is thinking at the time."

He is correct. If you believe what you are saying, is it a lie?

They sent a letter to Congress saying the guns were NOT walking across the border. And if not caught red handed they would have kept that statement.
The letter was withdrawn after it hit the press that guns were indeed walking.

A lie is a lie whether you believe it to be or not.

According to the Dictionary, the meaning of the word "lie" is:

A false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.

Your lie might be YOUR truth....but it does not mean it is the REAL truth.



There is plenty of evidence about the whole Fast and Furious deal. He cannot get out of this one.

You obviously didn't read your own definition. If you believe something to be true, how can that be a deliberate intent to deceive????

This is also proof of being a sociopath. They are gifted at mixing lies and fiction with half-truths.

I believe Holder said he didnt know what was taking place, so thats not misleading if he did, its a lie.

He either did, or didnt know what was taking place.

True dat, sorry for the pun. Kinda like Cain believe his own lies. If you believe it, it's not a lie, technically speaking.
