In that case, there was an "underlying crime", i.e. tax evasion. Just as there as an "underlying crime", i.e. burglary, in the Nixon case. In this case, there was no underlying crime, unless you think the laws still state that adultery is a crime.

Even if you point to the allegations in the Paula Jones suit as the underlying crime here, you must keep in mind that that lawsuit was thrown out.

So there was NO underlying crime here. And that is a very very very big difference. End of story.

Dipy.
