He said, "I can't answer such a hypothetical question". Calling the situation "hypothetical" when you know it's not is a lie.

Feingold asked Gonzales where the president's authority ends and whether Gonzales believed the president could, for example, act in contravention of existing criminal laws and spy on U.S. citizens without a warrant.

Gonzales says he believes the president is well within his right to spy without warrants. It seems to me he could have answered Sen. Feingold's question without lying under oath or discussing a classified program.
