The title of this thread is "Lying to the FBI is never a good idea." I would concur. But my rejoinder is "if it is ever a good idea when the FBI does the lying."

The truth about independent/special counsel is that they are given unlimited time and resources and as such set out to find something, anything, and in that I find too much opportunity for abuse of power. Past special counsel investigations have destroyed many an innocent life. What we have here is a political weapon to destroy the other guy. I am inclined , and while not an perfect solution, prefer an investigation by Congress such as that with House Intelligence Committee. etc.

However, if this nation is going to continue with a special counsel then by all means apply the same standards.

Evidence continues to surface concerning the uranium deal and the implications are far more reaching and criminal in nature than the allegations presently being pursued by Mueller.

if the allegations are proven to be true and factual concerning any person named in either of these imbroglios then let them suffer the consequences

But not let this turn into a political weapon but rather a non-partisan search for the truth .
