There is a difference between lying and not exposing truths. If he sat there listing out what happened in each of these cases he'd be assassinated just like any other American who steps out of line, the US is one of the worst offenders of corruption and silencing people who put the agencies at risk. It was the agencies who brought down the towers after their $2trillion hole was discovered, 3000 died. Do you really think they wouldn't kill him if he exposed them? Naive much?

No you are naive if you think they would assassinate the president AFTER he told the tales. At that level assassination is a business tool. They assassinate people to keep them silent. There is no point to it if they already let the cat out of the bag.

It may be the case, but my point still stands that to reveal any such truths would be poitical suicide. Reputation would be hit within the government, the party and with the voters. Despite people wanting the truths, many do not treat whistleblowers with respect, instead of treating them admirably they are considered traitors.
