j g cordes,

The U.S. Constitution made very clear that
when one is under oath, they must tell the
truth. The Constitution even makes clear
that if you are accused of a crime, you do
not have to testify. In most countries you
can be forced to testify, or your non-state
ments can be held as evidence of guilt. In
this country, under our great Constitution,
you are not only given the option of not
testifying, but, you can even choose to not
testify in an unrelated matter by taking the
5th Amendment option of avoiding self-incrim-
ination.

The problem here is Bill Clinton had 3 options
when he was deposed by Paula Jones's lawyer:

1) Go under oath, tell the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth.

2) Take the 5th amendment and avoid self-
incrimination.

3) Lie like hell and hope ya don't get caught.

Bill Clinton took option #3, got caught and now
he is paying the price.

Any questions?

-John
