From what I've become to understand, lying to a federal investigator is a crime. I don't necessarily agree with this, but isn't it how Martha was convicted?

Lying on line *with malicious intent to inflict harm via fraudulent means* with resultant actual harm inflicted is not a thought crime. It is, and a jury agreed, an actual crime.

Would an exaggeration about how much a person weighs or how tall or short a person is be sufficient for prosecution? What the heck would the guidelines be? Lying, in and of itself, is not generally considered to be a crime. People tell lies all the time.
