More politely known as "a pile of poo", the term "a crock of shit" derives from an ancient Roman custom that coincidentally took place in Roman times. It referred literally to a pot into which people would excrete if they were particularly bored by whichever freelance philosoper happened to be talking rubbish at the time. The Roman empire employed crock-monitors who were each assigned to a philosopher, and it was their job to monitor the pot (or crock). Should the crock become full, it would be presented to the philospher, who was obliged, by law, to announce that it bore a remarkable resembence to himself, thus proclaiming he was full of crap and was, in fact, talking a crock of shit.
Example:
"I am talking a crock of shit", Socretes 429 BC

1. An earthenware pot, brimming with smelly excrement.

2. Bullshit, lies... deviations from the truth
Example:
1. He's shits in a crock, rather than the much popularised toilet, and as a result he's unemployed.

2. Tony had to admit that the crock of shit he and George had just made up would probably backfire on him.

When you express your disbelief in what someone is saying and you believe it to believe false, or an outright lie, and it is presented to you as if it were real or totally the opposite as if it were correct or good for you. Three words often associated with what the United States Government says about something, or what words are often spoken from of the president's mouth, or presidential candidates mouth, or any other government official attempting to convince you of something that is totally absurd and wrong or bad for you, not good. To indicate that someone is attempting to present to you an entire bucket full of defecation, excrement, or shit.
Example:
Examples of a crock of shit: “you can keep your doctor’s if you want”, “it is not going to cost any more tax money then you already pay”, “only citizens of the United States will be allowed to receive...”

As slang, 'a crock of shit' is similar to 'a white lie'.

It's poetic metaphor: consider that a crock pot cooks food slowly but thoroughly, which has advantages above just tenderizing. For example, before refrigeration, people had to more frequently encounter meat that may have been starting to spoil, and had to do something to make use of it. They would do what they could to kill off the bacteria as best as possible, perpetuating the popularity of slow cooking. Soups are sometimes good for this too, since the bacteria has a better chance of dying off with meat cooked through and through.

The coorelation here is in the exaggeration that implies that a crock of shit should be harmless, if the bacteria is eliminated. The truth is that even food that is too rancid, even when cooked thoroughly, is still bad for you. Kill off the bacteria in a pile of shit and it's still nonedible. Comparing deception to shit, sometimes people try to justify their behavior while claiming that they are also mitigating the side effects. Sometimes they get called out by someone else as its being a crock of shit. Simply put, with the context this is usually used with, no matter how it's prepared, scandal is probably bad for you.

* Supposedly, modern sewage treatment is a different idea altogether.
Example:
Those laws are a crock of shit.
