How interesting, Carl. Good job in digging that up. I was wondering about that. Clearly Mr. Bennett said in court, "there is no sexual relationship in any way, shape, or form, between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky". Incidentally, HRC said virtually the same thing in the Matt Lauer interview back on Jan. 28th. Now she has shamelessly decided that although she said back in January that if such allegations proved to be true, that would be "a very serious issue", now she says that Congress get off the subject of her husband and get back to "the issues that matter to America--evidently she thinks that perjury is commonly accepted everywhere.

Anyway, when one of the GJ investigators asked Bill in the videotaped testimony about his silence when his attorney William Bennett told a blatant falsehood about him to the Jones court, Bill Clinton mumbled something about "I didn't follow each and every exchange between the attorneys and the Judge". In other words, "I was sitting there stupidly, not paying attention". Not very likely, particularly in the Slickster's case.

Re: perjury in the Jones deposition. Take a look at this, if you haven't already seen it:

There's also the matter of the immateriality of his Lewinsky testimony in the Jones case. That alone defeats the notion of criminal perjury.

I think perjury in his GJ testimony really is a very large stretch in two of the (only) three cases Starr claims (which probably are not what you think they are).

And in the one remaining case become a very narrow and extremely detailed issue of exact sexual contact. Which is exclusively he said, she said. Not a very important or material distinction. And would never lead to a perjury case in a court of law---unless, perhaps the jury absolutely HATED the defendant.

Which may be the nub of it here.<g>
