...Condit's statements to police may also provide authorities with some leverage. If it's true that it took him until his third interview to confess to an affair with Levy, does that mean he lied to them in the first two sessions? Under the D.C. code obstruction of justice charges can be brought against anyone who "corruptly" (as in by lying) "obstructs or impedes or endeavors to obstruct or impede the due administration of justice in any official proceeding" (such as an investigation of someone's disappearance).
