"Don't take my word for it. Look it up. Learn something. Are you kidding? Nobody takes your word for anything. Here ya go: perjury n. the crime of intentionally lying after being duly sworn (to tell the truth) by a notary public, court clerk or other official. This false statement may be made in testimony in court, administrative hearings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, as well as by signing or acknowledging a written legal document (such as affidavit, declaration under penalty of perjury, deed, license application, tax return) known to contain false information. Although a crime, prosecutions for perjury are rare, because a defendant will argue he/she merely made a mistake or misunderstood. I don't see anything in there about crossing fingers or cases being dismissed. Your forked tongue doesn't apply either.

law.cornell.edu Your case is dismissed. You're wrong. Perjury has to involve testimony material to the case. The Jones case was summarily dismissed by Judge Wright which rendered Clinton's deposition immaterial. Cite an example of lying under oath that is not perjury. The law does not excuse perjury because a case is dismissed. For example, the perjury could have CAUSED the dismissal in which case it would certainly not be excused. That's the law. Perjury is a crime. Lying under oath isn't always perjury and it isn't always a crime. That's what you THINK the law is. Try it in a court.
