LOL!!!!! Well, let's just wait and let the Congress decide. I have spoken to 4 attorneys who are acquaintances and to a person all have indicated that Clinton had committed perjury in the Jones deposition. From what I'm hearing he may have further perjured himself in the GJ testimony yesterday......Enjoy!

<< Wrong again? You need to take Law 101 and study the facts. He did not commit perjury. >>

Clinton testified that he did not remember being alone with Monica, and that even if he was, nothing remarkable happened. He also denied having an affair with her, which was then taken further and denied as regards the specific definition of sexual relations used in the case. He absolutely lied as regards being alone with Monica, and as regards his memory of the events. The deposition took place before the judge decided the Monica issue was not material, so Clinton shouldn't be able to use the materiality defense. Of course, if the Jones case is reinstated on appeal, the materiality issue will rise again. Are you saying he didn't lie (technically), or that the lie doesn't constitute perjury?
