"Well, we were investigating whether John Doe robbed a bank. Turns out no bank was robbed, but Mr. Doe told us under oath he smoked, but a friend of his says he never saw Mr. Doe with cigarettes."
You got that right. One of the people pardoned on Clinton's last day of office got in trouble because while a special prosecutor was investigating him for one thing, this person was negotiating buying a home in California using the phone. Well he was charged with(and found guilty of) wire fraud because of something he said over the phone that was not deemed to be accurate. He was never found guilty from the original investigation.
