I voted no because "not all sins are crimes, and not all crimes are sins" as they say.

If he has broken his oath of duty and endangered the state then he could be charged for those crimes. His lying could be a key piece of evidence to convict him of treason or gross misconduct or whatever. As far as the law is concerned sins are only relevant when they contribute to the carrying out of a crime and even then they are simply considered actions of the accused pure and simple. The law (when it is applied properly) is not concerned with sins, only crimes.
