The sense of certainty among lawyers that there is a clear case of perjury, either before the GJ or in the Jones deposition, was very much diminished after the Clinton GJ testimony was aired. Particularly the issue of GJ perjury. Quite weak and difficult case. The fundamental difference: he revealed that he had been intentionally as narrow as he could in answering questions in the Jones deposition. But perjury even in the Jones deposition now looks much less likely provable. The Pres. did an artful job there. Not without defect, but the defects aren't slam dunk. At all. Esp. given the very grave materiality issue. (Which isn't popular with the most extreme feminists, such as Gloria Allred.) The popular reaction to the tapes I think was mainly that the President didn't come off too badly under very difficult circumstances. And I think he also STARTED to make some inroads into explaining why he though he had some moral justification in engaging in narrow legalist answers, given the circumstances of the Jones case. But only started. Doug
