Republican definition of "Perjury Trap"

The White House has finally explained why they don't want any transcripts made of testimony by White House staffers. What if two of them disagree? That's a trap! One of them might actually be accused of lying to Congress and accused of perjury!!

See? They aren't going to LIE to Congress. But if they are CAUGHT lying (which requires a transcript of the testimony) then they might be ACCUSED of lying! That's a trap!

I guess its too late for them to avoid committing criminal acts in the first place, then trying to cover them up by lying, isn't it?
