It's not his fault that Republican lynch mob was not smart enough to check if he was crossing his fingers."

One element of perjury (and this is for educational purposes only since impeachment is a political process and not a legal one) is intent. If Clinton was acting in good faith upon the advice of competent counsel that his statements, however misleading, were not false, then there is no perjury.
