Obama gives impeached liar and adulterer a medal

Jarod said:
Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the willful act of swearing a false oath or of falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding. That is, the witness falsely promises to tell the truth about matters which affect the outcome of the proceeding. For example, it is not considered perjury to lie about one's age unless age is a factor in determining the legal result, such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury

And yet Caspar Weinberger was basically indicted for lying in his own diary.

Go figure. Liberal game, liberal rules.

The professional conduct committee sued Clinton in 2000, marking the first time an effort had been made to strip a sitting president of his law license.


Clinton settled the Arkansas case three days before he was due to answer 42 questions posed by the committee, including several on whether he gave false or misleading statements over his relationship with Lewinsky.


On Clinton's last full day as president, Jan. 19, 2001, he agreed to a five-year license suspension.


The agreement came on the condition that prosecutors would not pursue criminal charges against him after he lied under oath about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Further, I have gone over this repeatedly. Clinton never committed perjury in the Paul Jones deposition. Perjury is the crime of making a knowingly false statement which bears on the outcome of an official proceeding that is required to be testified to under oath. Clinton lied about having consensual sex with Lewinsky when the issue at hand was sexual harassment. Under the federal rules of evidence, evidence of a consensual affair, even in the work place is not admissible as evidence of sexual harassment. He did obstruct which the judge in the case found and his licence to practice law was taken.
 
lots of totally innocent people are indicted for crimes... they will always be innocent until proven guilty in our system.

now that is the answer I needed. technically, then, he lied under oath, but since it didn't have anything to do with the particular reasons for the hearing, it was not considered criminal
