I was under the impression that, against all good advice, Clinton CHOSE to continue to defend himslef against PJ, thinking he could "outsmart" everyone. Sure got his ...... caught in a wringer trying to outsmart smarter people that he, didn't he?

<<dispite the fact that the incident had nothing to do with the inquiry in question>>

A single isolated incident? How about a year and a half sexual affair with a low level staffer?

The problem here of course is that the man was being accused in a law suit of being a sexual predator. The accusers were trying to demonsrtate his pattern of behavior. A pattern where subordinates were rewarded for sexual favors. In that context I believe his perjury to be serious. Beyond lying, he will be proven guilty of obstruction of justice, a more serious offense in most legal opinions.

<<<Its where you take the sort of incident that many people lie about (commonly referred to as "white lies"), such as extramarital affairs, and concoct a way to cause someone to address this incident under oath - dispite the fact that the incident had nothing to do with the inquiry in question>>>

Wrong. Perjury is a law, not a trap. Just because you're going downhill doesn't mean you get to break the speed limit.
