Would fibbing by omission, constitute a valid fib? If
you intentionaly leave something out of a statement, that changes that statement, does that mean it is a real live fib? If the individual listening, is left to assume that you meant something, that you actually didn't, are you guilty of devisiveness? Does this make you are fibber? In some circles, yes, possibly not in the courtroom, where the more astute you are, with your statements, the better you are at being adroit. You get credit there, possibly. Remember the famous "it depends on what the meaning of is, is".
But then, he was found guilty of some sort of perjury, was he not? Not coming forth with all there is to tell, so that, left with what was conveyed, a person is handed something other than the truth, is not good.
But, what is one to do, if you don't want to tell a bold faced lie, so you fudge, and omit, and basically
deceive. Not cool, best to fess up and state what is, and let the chips fall where they may. Your character may be on the line, and it is far less stressful on the mind, and more peaceful for the soul, to be up front. Think about it, but don't think too long. See you.
