Yes, but there is a huge difference between a deliberate lie, such as "I didn't have sex with that woman". And some minor misstatement in the course of 16 hours of testimony. As a prosecutor, I can tell you that you expect minor inconsistencies and problems with recall when someone is telling the truth. It actually makes your witness more believable in some cases.

If any indictment is based on a true cover up, I would be the first to hang the offenders out to dry. But if this is a case of indicting someone because he believed that he heard X from Tim Russert and Tim Russert says he didn't say X, or some similar nonsense, I will be disappointed in the legal system.

A prosecutor with an agenda is a very dangerous thing.
