I wouldn't say the intent is necessarily evil. I would say perhaps dishonest at worst and myopic at least. That the arguments are convincing is not to say that
I am convinced, only that some are convinced

In my case, it is prudent speculation to recognize he likely was not lying while allowing for the possibility he could have, being human and all. In my view it
is propaganda to structure the question as you have, inferring the lie exists as a fact.

You are correct, if the nature of this statement is that political interests would attempt to limit if not eliminate any measure to impeach the pres. in the event of credible evidence of intentional deceit were to be presented. However, I believe it would ultimately be unsuccessful.
There are established avenues for redress of grievances. Our three branches of govt. are designed to be independent and though two are controlled by the reps., it would be nearly impossible for them to gain control of the third during one single presidential reign .

Most folks don't have the patience to go on with the same topic over three to four days.
