Not talking is not the same as lying.
Here is a good discussion of the perjury trap and how it is used.
Ironically, after the firing of the US Attorneys, they are trying to get the Assistant to the Attorney General to actually perjure herself about something that is not even an illegal act. Like all powers the government has, this one is abused extensively.
Except for the President, no other public official holds more power than a federal prosecutor with his poodle grand jury in tow.
