I saw Barbara Battalino testify to the committee and at the time thought her crimes circumstances and the president's were vastly different. I barely remember but I thought her perjury came defending herself from malpractice--a charge specifically related to her job. Clinton's problem does not relate to anything in his duties except in the most general sense. I believe this was addressed often, months ago, with the idea of varying degrees of a crime. Obviously, perjury is always the same crime, but circumstances permit several punishments. My position has been that if her initial ruling demanding testimony is invalidated on appeal, then her ruling of defrauding the court is also vacant. Restored innocence will not undo Paula's settlement or the first Impeachment. He could, on the other hand, skip appeal, admit guilt, and pay the fines the Judge recently ordered as his punishment. Would that close the case for you? Or would you not be satisfied until impeachment were reopened?
