- dragonwriter 8y agoLying to Congress (or any part of the federal government) on a matter within it's area of responsibility (which for Congress is universal) is a crime whether or not it's under oath. (Fraud against the United States, whether or not it's also perjury.) Congress and anyone with competent counsel appearing before Congress realize that, even if lay audiences sometimes don't. So, while neither is simply a sideshow, it's the sworn testimony that involves a theatrical display for the uninformed.
