If someone is so desperately trying to stop someone (or some voices) from speaking, even by using all kinds of power--peer pressure, physical violence, big noise, legal authority, political threatening, etc.--, usually the case is that he (she) is afraid of something to be known or exposed. In other words, he is hiding something intentionally for some purpose or reason, knowing what he is doing. Or, sometimes the case is that he somehow managed to deceive himself by using some justification so that he can feel he is doing the right thing even though he is not.
If he has confidence of being not guilty, and has faith in God, then he will not need to be afraid of anything to be exposed. He will be so happy to practice transparency, and peacefully listen to what the person has to say.
Therefore, lying will not work, it will surely not work in the long term. It will not give any benefit to anybody including the liar himself. No matter how great he may appear to be for now, whoever holds on to lying will end; it is just a question of time. So, don't try to lose the eternal benefit by holding on to the temporal glory.
