It seems fairly convincing to me on a civil or criminal standard that Bubba has lied, perjured himself, suborned perjury and obstructed justice, etc. etc.
You'd like to convict him on "fairly convincing" evidence? Sorry, that ain't the law. The law specifies that he be guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt", which is a far cry from "fairly convincing".
Lying is not a crime. Throw that one out.
Perjury. Maybe he lied under oath about Monica. Maybe he didn't. I'm still prepared to entertain the notion that Monica was one of his few alleged lovers who really didn't have an affair with him. Even so, now that Wright first excluded the Lewinsky material from the Jones case, and subsequently dismissed the Jones case entirely, there is, apparently, some question as to whether any lies he may have told about his relationship would constitute perjury, given the fact that they are no longer material to any case at all. Yes, I know legal opinion on this point is divided, but I don't doubt it's a question that both sides will enjoy arguing for a long time, should any case actually come to court.
Subornation of perjury? Forget it. He's a lawyer, too, after all, and I doubt very much whether he'd have been dumb enough to have done it himself. Did someone else do it for him? This will very likely be impossible to prove.
Hell, not even "fairly" convincing... |
