You are 100% correct. However, my point is that he will derail that possibility by lying.

to convict him of perjury it has to be proven to be false
First, please reread my post. Its more than perjury. Second, look at the Scooter Libby trial. All the special counsel could parade before the jury in that trial was 1) conflicting stories between Libby and those he spoke with; and 2) the fact that Libby might have lied to those reporters he spoke with (which isn't a crime). Still, the jury came back with a conviction even without what I would call real evidence of perjury or obstruction. If the US Attorney wants to convict someone on perjury, false statements, and obstruction of justice to make an example, they likely WILL convict. Donaghy's attorneys know this and would have resigned as counsel before submitting any materials that contained false statements.
