The Jefferson quote was too complicated for me to disentangle but I did retrieve this:

Rep. James Sensenbrenner question Eric Holder: “Tell me what’s the difference between lying and misleading Congress, in this context?” Attorney General Eric Holder: “Well, if you want to have this legal conversation, it all has to do with your state of mind and whether or not you had the requisite intent to come up with something that would be considered perjury or a lie.”

– Exchange from a House hearing on the Operation Fast and Furious gunrunning sting.


and was able to disentangle it.

truth for Holder = state of mind that allows one to perjure oneself or lie.
