I agree that is what is being said. And if he had sex with a person not in his employ and absent any other sex-based conflict, it would be like Gary Hart. Public humiliation, but not much else. But Clinton is an accused sexual predator. Those sexual accusations were being investigated in a court sanctioned manner. In that context, he must tell the truth about his sex life with his employees. The perjury and obstruction will cost him dearly.

Is the premise shaky? Perhaps...but can you not envision this opening Pandora's box? Use the Jones case as an example...if a standing president can be forced to testify in such cases...is it not probable that frivolous cases will start to be filed....just in order to force testimony....with opposition lawyers (having delved into the most private of matters) questing for answers that can later be shown to be perjury even if on trivial matters. This frenzy to rid the country of Clinton at any cost sets a disturbing precedent...(he's a lame duck anyway esp after the fall elections). It's a slippery slope...but of course republicans will end the power of the special prosecutor...once Clinton's gone, for their own protection. This has never been about justice, on either side...it's politics, we all know it...Clinton simply offended too many.
