Lying...

Here is one definition of a lie...

A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false, typically used with the purpose of deceiving someone.  ...And a person who communicates a lie may be termed a liar. Lies may serve a variety of instrumental, interpersonal, or psychological functions for the individuals who use them. Generally, the term "lie" carries a negative connotation, and depending on the context a person who communicates a lie may be subject to social, legal, religious, or criminal sanctions. 

Here is one form of an oath taken in court:

For a witness appearing in court, the form of oath taken is generally as follows: "I swear by Almighty God that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.".

Here is the oath of enlistment in the U.S. military: 

I, (NAME), do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). So help me God.

Is the definition of a lie, and oaths taken in court or enlistment in the military service connected in some way?

Yes, of course it is...

Politicians and witnesses take the oath when they are going to testify before Congress or some committee, that the testimony is supposed to be truthful and accurate.  If they deliberately lie, then they are subject to the pains and penalties of perjury.

I wonder just how many politicians and members of the various federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies of the U.S. have perjured themselves all in an effort to execute a coup d'etat against President Trump in an attempt to remove him from office?

Do the words of an oath mean anything anymore??

That's more of an rhetorical question than anything else, as so many have been PROVEN to have perjured themselves over the last few years, but have suffered little or nothing for their lies.

The idea of swearing to God Almighty also seems to mean little these days.  I can only come to the conclusion that those miscreants, traitors and perjurers, don't believe that they will be held accountable for their perjuries.

I seem to recall, however, one of the Ten Commandments: thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

But things just may be in the process of changing, as we now have a new Attorney General of the U.S. (Barr).  I know he is on the right track because he is consistently being attacked by the "deep state" conspirators almost on a daily basis.

Let's see if Mr. Barr has the guts to continue doing his job, or if he caves to those real conspirators and traitors to our country, all the while masquerading as "Americans".

Let us all pray for our President, the new Attorney General, and for our country...
