Clinton LIED dipshit....he tried to put himself above the law...a law that entitled the Jones people to ask the questions that Clinton lied about....the ones he lied about in that deposition and in front of a grand jury....a law that Clinton himself signed into being to be made applicable to the rest of us.....violating both his oath as an officer of the Court AND his oath of office.......maybe there was no perjury...but what the lying scumbag Clinton did was worse....

Clinton is a lying scumbag...a confirmed lying scumbag.....and splitting hairs over the legal definition of what the lying scumbag did says a whole volume about you....

CJ, > If it isn't material, it isn't perjury.

I'm sure Martha Stewart would have appreciated such "logic," since none of the issues she lied about were material to any valid SEC insider trading case.

Same with Barry Bonds. No case against steroids? No perjury about steroid use.

I don't think the "material" requirement of perjury can be made invalid after the fact, but then again, I'm not a law expert. Just a guy who noticed very public cases being decided differently based on a whole set of circumstances.
