I don't see how that is possible. When I saw the partial quote it looked like it could in theory happen, but the full statue provides limitations that would seem to exclude things like the SOTU address. Their interpretation of the full statute argues the opposite but its pointless to debate what they meant. You can think about it another way: Lets say I’m trying to sell you a used car. I tell you that... 1. “It was only driven by a little old lady to Church every Sunday.” 2. That statement is true. 3. You buy the car. 4. You later learn that the little old lady sold it because it was underwater for a month as a consequence of the flood in New Orleans. 5. You also learn I knew that and failed to tell you. I have not lied – per se – but I misrepresented the condition of the vehicle and failed to disclose a material fact. I committed fraud. ww
