The public at large can well judge how serious the lieing about sex was, and judge its impeachability. Any jury, chosen from the public, requires considerable education, through judges instructions, and defense lawyer step by step presentation of the facts, in comparison with the standards, to understand what is and what is not perjury. Further, the public most evidently are confusing perjury in the GJ testimony with it in the deposition. They think the word parsing is misleading, and therefore lieing. But he wasn't being misleading in the GJ testitmony about that. ANd even Starr didn't say any of that constituted GJ perjury. Only the breasts issue, and a couple of real Starr stretches, which I discuss a couple of posts ago or so. These are the sorts of step by step things which a presentation of Clinton's side would seek to explain. If we even get that far. I don't think we will. In the Senate that is. The House Judiciary has already made up its mind. It just hopes for a bit more poll cover, but will act regardless. Lots of firebrands. Doug
