The difference is that a Senator (who is vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee) is privy to more information than you are.

And lying can have very real consequences for politicians, even when it happens without breaking a law.

That's debatable if there is no information to be privy to. Even Feinstein and Pelosi stated publicly there was no smoking gun.
