circumstances such as lying to an official investigator, lying in court, lying on an affidavit that you've sworn to or presented as true, etc

The supreme court has apparently ruled that it's not criminal for law enforcement to lie and decieve people they are interrogating.

The BIG LIE in all its manifestations may not be criminal, but in narrow circumstances it may be. I do think it could criminal evidence if it can be shown to have been done with a purpose to mislead others into criminal behavior... such as rioting, or falsifying electoral college votes.
