I doubt it. She made that statement, and mused that she was considering contempt IF there was perjury. She made that statement before she had heard the President's more fulsome explanation of his Jones testimony that he gave in his grand jury video taped testimony. The judge had only heard Clinton's public "confession" later that evening. Which could certainly make her believe that bald perjury MIGHT have been committed.

The most troubling thing in that deposition, I think, was Bennett's statement. I'm not certain that precisely the same standards apply there. Clinton's it depends on what the meaning of "is" is, although much ridiculed in the electronic media, is actually completely right so far as perjury standards are concerned. But I'm not certain that covers his lawyer making an argument to the Judge, rather than Clinton responding to his adversary's deposition questions.
