I think the words you were looking for are "lie" or "liar" or "lying." Why be afraid to write those words? Here's a missing sentence from your piece:

"Randy Leonard, a liar, was lying when he talked about the program earlier this year."

or

"Randy Leonard told another lie."

See? Simple.

Oh and, just for full information, did Randy Leonard's daughter ever get arrested by Rosie Sizer's officers? Did those warrants she has from Washington and here in Portland ever get cleared up? Cause you know, that might have something to do with his current level of involvement in Portland police bureau matters. Maybe he isn't lying and the police don't talk to him any more.
