Not quite correct. It is a necessary element of the crime of perjury that the testimony be material to the subject of the investigation. This of course requires that there be a subject of the investigation.

Yes, but it doesn't require a certain outcome. I think the only way you would be right is if they could prove the investigation was invalid to begin with. It wasn't. Just because it didn't result in a charge doesn't mean that the investigation wasn't warranted. I'm not an expert on this so I could be wrong. Bus I would be shocked to learn that you can lie under oath to a grand jury just as long as the outcome goes a certain way. Obstruct away everone, just as long as you are really good at it.
