Wow that is a gross misunderstanding of United States v. Alvarez you've got there. All that did was invalidate the "Stolen Valor Act" which made lying about earned military medals a crime. Obama signed a similar law the following year which made it illegal to lie about military medals for personal gain. So far that hasn't been challenged as unconstitutional, despite both bills being about lying about military medals. It's almost like the context and intent of the lie matters more than the lie itself.... If you want to construe this as a get out of jail free card for lying in every situation (to the FBI, etc.), I'm going to need to see that held up in court, citing that case as precedent.
If you're going to drag a man through the mud with wild conspiracy theories, at least learn how to spell his name--It's Mueller, with an "e". I'm really not sure how you think this constitutes the government deciding what is true/false. They're charged with attempting to manipulate the election, committing lots of fraud, etc., but oddly enough not for daring to speak untruths.
