Actually, "lacking candor" is a broader category than lying (which if done under oath would be perjury), though it includes it.  It is violating an even higher standard of truthfulness (not just no lying in general, and telling the whole truth when under oath to do so, but telling the whole truth without waffling under all circumstances) to which the FBI tries (when their IG is paying attention, at least) to hold their officials.
