* We havet a double DoubleDontKnow starting at about 1:15 in a Website/YouTube video [[https://youtu.be/q-E4cJtzARU found here]], Steve Lehto, a lawyer in Michigan, read a report of a false document allgedly submitted to the United States Supreme Court:
-->Interestingly, after reading [ADF Legal's] statement...they still admit that what was presented to the court may have been fake, they don't know, they don't know. They're just saying they didb't do it, and are upset that people have insinuated that they did do it. However, we don't know who did it, but somebody submitted something that got into the court record, and the person it is attributed to, says "I never did that." And as the ADF Legal points out, "it could be that guy did submit it. and won't admit it. We don't know, we don't know."

* In ''Lost Mission'', the first book of Daniel Young and Joshua James' nine-volume ''Oblivion'' series, a group of discredited ex-police and ex-military members has discovered that a death-worshipping religious cult named the Oblivion has shapeshifters disguised as people so they can fit in, either massacring dozens or hundreds at a time or committing suicide bombings that the shapeshifters themselves will not be killed by, allowing them to then go on to kill more people. This discovery (plus the things they did to find out) has made their group wanted fugitives. Worse, the people they're going to rendezvous with off-world are untrustworthy and will probably come after them too, so they have nowhere to go. Ben gives the other members of the group an excuse as to why they should go on a search mission to find the military ship captained by his father, which has gone missing:

-->'''Henry''': They're absolutely stonewalling us... There's no way for George and me can come up with a realistic bid for the company without knowing its true value. And the law says Johnson's people have to cooperate with would-be buyers. They have to tell us all they know about the company's assets, their liabilities, where it's healthy, where it's not. Now, out of fear, or loyalty, or acting on Johnson's orders, I don't know, but not one of them will tell us a thing. We've got less than a week to make an offer, we're flying totally blind.
-->'''Caroline''': Do you honestly need Nabisco, Henry? Aren't there other companies that'd make you just as happy?
-->'''Henry''': It's not the company... it's the credibility. ''My'' credibilty. I can't just sit on the bench and let other people play the game. Not My game. Not with their rules.
-->'''Caroline''': So coach, what are you going to do?
-->'''Henry''': I don't know. I just... don't... know.

* In [[https://freakonomics.com/podcast/roland-fryer-refuses-to-lie-to-black-america/ episode 516]] of the ''Freakonomics'' podcast "Roland Fryer Refuses to Lie to Black America", Harvard economics professor Roland Fryer (who is black) released a controversial study on police use of force, using federally collected data and data from 10 cities, showing that while police do tend to use force on blacks than whites, as far as police shootings are concerned, "What we found there was no racial differences whatsoever in lethal uses of force." He tried to convince federal officials to change some practices both to get better reporting, and to incentivize ways to make local law enforcement use of force less likely. He did not have much success:
