How many convicted but not serving any time for perjury, must be thousands.

I've never heard of one conviction of perjury that has not resulted in jail time. Have you?

Perjury in a civil case that has been dismissed.

It was dismissed BECAUSE the defendant perjured himself, thus turning the whole case into "he said/she said." Lewinsky's appearance changed all that. The case may be reinstated, now that Clinton's own lawyer has admitted that Clinton knowingly allowed a false affidavit to be entered into evidence.

Now please don't say that perjury is perjury and all must face the same penalty.You know that doesn't apply.

Sorry; can't do that. Federal and state laws say perjury is a felony and makes no distinction on what the lying is about, and I'm not going to ignore the law. That's up to the Senate in the impeachment hearings.
