Clinton was "prosecuted" because for his lie because he did, in fact, lie under oath. I don't need to "try again". I think I explained it clearly the first time. This law, i.e., the "Violence Against Women Act of 1994" was designed to intimidate corporate executives accused of sexual harassment into making out-of-court monetary settlements. The intimidation was accomplished by threatening to question them about their sexual behavior under oath (while shielding the plaintiff from having to answer such questions). So Clinton was treated no differently from other corporate executives in this respect. The difference was that Clinton was so stupid/arrogant that he thought he could lie under oath and get away with it. The vast majority (if not all) of the corporate executives faced with similar intimidation just settled out-of-court. They did not risk committing perjury like Clinton did.
