besides the fact that you’re essentially running on a platform of “make crime illegal”, you run into the obvious problem of who decides what a lie is? who decides whether a lie has taken place?

Lying is currently usually protected for politicians, not illegal.

Lies are obvious in most cases, and I think there are established judicial systems to assess if a crime has been committed or not...

Of course investigations and indictments have to occur only with sufficient elements to suspect a malfeasance, we're not arguing for wiring politicians to mind readers
