I have been musing a point all morning - If I ask you a question are you obligated to answer fully?  The point was made yesterday by Mueller that he did not answer all of the written questions he was asked, or some he did not answer fully.  I guess it depends on the question - it if is a question like when did you stop beating your wife - well, if you never beat your wife in the first place - would you  be within your right to refuse to answer?  If you only give me a partial answer is that the same as lying?  

Rather amusing since conventional wisdom is "if you don't want to answer the question asked, answer one that you do" and "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging".
