So you beleive then that when a Court orders you to do something you beleive is private, you can ignore it? If Clinton did not want to answer the question truthfully, he could have objected, appealed, etc.
Instead he chose to LIE UNDER OATH. JLA

J Doe: I know it was early in the morning when you posted this, but:

" . . . entrapping of someone that was not doing anything illegal and making that behavior such an issue as to create illegality where none would have existed without the prosecutor's zeal.

Illegality is not "creatable." It either is, or it isn't illegal. Starr did not "create" the Paula Jones case in which Clinton began his web of lies. He was made aware of it and took the evidence to a three-judge panel who AGREED that there was sufficient cause to investigate further.

I gather that you have rationalized your President's behavior to the degree that lying under oath about material facts in a civil case, and then lying under oath before a grand jury is OK, as long as the subject matter is deemed by the accused to be private.

How convenient. Fortunately, the courts have never agreed with you.

Mr. K.
