<<To put it bluntly, if you say you recall maybe seeing her alone in a pantry and it is a proven fact that you were receiving long periods of oral sex by the subject then you are guilty of perjury.>> I agreed with this earlier. I think that's the best case of perjury that can be made. But there's still the question of whether being alone with Lewinsky is "material." And it's still complicated by the fact that POTUS used the very vague "maybe . . . don't recall" construction which is a classic way of escaping perjury. <<Acceptance of a gift and your personal use of that gift is enough to constitute knowledge of receiving that gift.>> Not true. The POTUS can reasonably say that he doesn't remember who gave him what. You can't get perjury out of that. <<I know of very few court rooms in which "selective memory disorder" has been used as a defense successfully. >> When did you get a law degree? Last I knew, San Jose State was a 3rd rate state university with no law school. <<I am curious about something? Have you ever used an English dictionary? If you know how to use one could you please look up the word perjury? If you have trouble finding the "P" section I will be more than happy to post the definition for you. You will find that perfury is not limited to bald faced lies. Surprisingly, the law defines it in similar fashion as Noah Webster.>> I don't need a dictionary when I'm conversing with a simpleton like you. Why would a dictionary definition of perjury tell me anything about how the law is written and how the federal courts interpret that legal term? For your information, perjury is the intentional misstatement of a material fact while under oath. Under federal law, it does not include wilfull omissions or lack of recall. In other words, you don't have to volunteer information and you don't have to answer truthfully on irrelevant facts. Don't try to prove me wrong, Bob. I'm too smart for you. Doughboy.
