If you tell the truth, the actual facts will back up your story, the only thing you must do to is go back to them and they will tell you what happened. That is the reason Mark Twain says you don't have to remeber anything. Even your senses will have memories of the experiences you lived.
If a politician lies or exaggerates he is inventing something that never happened, it will be difficult to support those lies because there is not empirical evidence of that. If someone investigates there won't be data to back up the politicians statements and he would be in trouble.
Option B says truth has a way of coming back to haunt you. As I said, the truth is supported on the evidence. Lies fall because they don´t. Mark Twain doesn't make emphasis on this part of lying, on the consecuences of telling a lie.
