OP
That argument is not for us. That's for the Republican Senators who might vote to convict.

I would think that if he's caught lying to congress, again, he'll be charged, again

That is what their fox brains are saying. I want to have something clever to say back.

My sense is he's now in the process of purging himself. Whether it gets his sentence reduced, or not, it plays a role in bringing down trump*, et al. That will slightly mitigate the bad way he will be portrayed by history. IMHO, of course.

How would lying to them again reduce his sentence rather than add to it?

wouldn't reduce his sentence if he can't provide evidence. Prosecutors know this.
