<< any Clinton conviction on perjury either before the Grand Jury or in the Jones case, under all the circumstances, was very, very unlikely>>

If this went to trial, the decision would be made by a jury. According to the latest polls (and you all know how much I trust the polls), somewhere between 70% and 90% of Americans think that Clinton lied in either the Jones case, the GJ testimony or both. We all do know what sex is, and why Clinton lied about it. But we obviously do think he lied. That being the case, how could Clinton not be found guilty, at least in the GJ testimony, since so many people think he lied during that testimony? Lawyers may call it hairsplitting, his opponents may call it twisting words, but the people call it lying.

By the way, I notice you don't address the obstruction charges. Do you think anything has been shown either way on those charges?
