Also note that the Fifth Circuit recently discarded the "exculpatory no"
defense to Sec. 1001. See _United States v. Rodriguez-Rios_, No. 92-
8257 (5th Cir. 2/11/94) (Smith, J.). Reported at 54 CrimLRptr 1528.
Now, in the Fifth Circuit, you can't even say "No, I never did/say/thought
that" without committing a crime!

Maybe I'm not as well versed in legal matters as y'all but what is the
'exculpatory no'?
Thanks
