Does the federal statute distinguish between small and large perjury? Is that like theft and grand theft? JLA

Do we really want inquisitions into the sex lives of all of our elected officials? And perhaps the rest of us as well?

again, you are glossing over the fact that these sexcapades took place in the President's office, the Oval Office, in which he carries out his Presidential, very public duties in our behalf, in Our House, a Historical House, the closest thing we have to a royal palace in the USA. If Clinton is suspected again of using the Oval Office as sexual playground for illicit sex romps, then yes, that "sex life" is my business, and you better believe that I want it to be investigated.

If anyone else in the United States had had a sexual romp in the Oval Office, and it was discovered, you can bet they would have probably been arrested for lewd public behavior.

Get a grip on reality, doug, and quit trying to gloss over the facts.

And this is simply the public office sex part. To top that off that he willfully perjured himself to cover it up during a civil sexual harassment trial--there's another offense, and a serious legal one.

This slime must be held accountable--whether or not we chose to "forgive him", not that he's ever asked.

His testimony on the Starr grand jury also showed an arrogant Bill Clinton, one who showed contempt for the legal process. Starr became indignant at Clinton because they showed the same contempt during testimony and requests for documents for the other investigations. This is not unlike how Walsh responded in 1992.
