Neither can I.

But perjury by a lawyer and high government official is, IMO, a serious thing, not just an aside to be tossed away. No matter what it was about.

Lawyers are not expected to lie under oath. Period. And officials who have sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States are not expected to lie under oath. Period. Doesn't matter what they are lying under oath about. Something big, something little, no matter. They are expected not to do it. And when they do, it becomes very serious even if the thing they were lying about was minor, or even trivial.
