Probably just a legality

I agree. Perjury is a crime. To say someone purged himself as a cause for firing means he was convicted of the crime of perjury by a jury/judge. The criminal charge could (and should) come later.

No it doesn’t. A charge of, Perjury, is a completely separate charge, that usually arises from testimony given during a trial, Grand Jury, deposition, or sworn testimony before a Congressional committee, and the person in question is providing that information, Under Oath.

The whole, raise your right hand, swear or affirm that you’ll tell the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God.

This is entirely different than the Feds charging you with 18USC1001, providing false information, etc.
