Similar but this case says you can't sue an agent of the govt for damages after his or her LIES put your ass in jail.

No question though, the case you quote also supports the thesis that The System allows its agents to lie in support of The System and further it will shield the agent from monetary damages should the lie be made public.

That's how I read it, anyway.

".... the court found the Government, and Mr. Hardy to have provided FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION TO THE COURT THROUGH SWORN STATEMENTS. When the deception [LIE] was revealed, the Governmnet ARGUED IT HAD THE AUTHORITY TO MISLEAD [LIE]..... "
