Do yourself (and everyone) a favor and read the Jones deposition....

I think he'll easily be found guilty of perjury if the Jones deposition is ruled material. (Not for his public comments, obviously.) Not only is there evidence of direct untruth, willful non-recall is grounds for perjury as well. His statements about not being alone with Monica and having sex will certainly hurt him in any objective legal proceeding.

<<< Any kind of sophisticated reasoning just seems to go over your head, Bob. I was trying to say that while easy in theory it's difficult in practice to convict someone for perjury or obstruction. And then you say this: <<OK, how about this: "I want you to listen to me, I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky" followed now by the now famous "Indeed I did have an inproper relationship with Monica Lewinsky." How's that?>> This basically proves my point. If we could convict the POTUS on his television appearances alone, they might have a chance, but unfortunately, they have only what he said in the Jones Depo and the grand jury testimony. Find something in there to convict him on. Not so easy.>>> Trust me DoHBoy, YOU couldn't go over my head if you were flying an F-15. If you can't see that his address the other night was nothing more than an attempt to save himself in the court of public opinion from damaging testimony that he gave in the court of the grand jury which directly points to him being a perjurer than you are not only intellectually barren but politically inept. If you think that his testimony in the Jones' case is going to be labeled completely and thoroughly irrelevant than you obviously have not been in very many court rooms. But lighten up. I respect Mr. Clinton for what he did. Yes, much like I respect a rabid dog that accidentally bites itself on the shin, a drive-by shooter who catches one of his ricochet bullets in his forehead or a convicted murderer who shoots the warden the finger as he is being led away to the gallows, I respect Mr. Clinton for having said what he said.
