MOC: According to several Rishonim Mid’var Sheker Tirchak is not a Lav against lying.
Chanie: Do you have a source for that? As far as I know that Midrash goes hand in hand with the “Midrash” that Dovid Hamelech built one wall of the Beis Hamikdash (the Kosel) and that is what it was never destroyed. Of course, the Kosel was never part of the Beis Hamikdash so that “Midrash” is clearly not really a Midrash.
