I wouldn’t argue with any of that.

I will say though, that if the law states you can’t lie to
the FBI, it should be upheld in court.

Can’t a judge nullify a jury decision if it is clearly
in conflict with the evidence presented?

I thought that I have seen that in the past, but perhaps
not.

Yes a judge can overrule a jury verdict. Only case I remember of it was the Au Pair murder case back in the 90s. The jury found the young woman guilty, judge overruled them. I don’t know if a judge can reverse a ‘not guilty’ verdict though.
