Clinton lied under oath.
What do *you* believe was his lie?
According to the logic espoused by the law professor in this link:
http://lawreview.kentlaw.edu/articles/79-3/Tiersma.pdf it's not
entirely clear that Clinton actually did lie.
Sorry, that's a bunch of BS. If you expect to communicate clearly with
another person you must use words that you both know the meaning of, you
cannot use words that can be misinterpreted, unless you intend to deceive
the other person right from the start.
When Clinton said "I did not have sex with that woman" he knew exactly what
the word "sex" meant and what it implied to his audience, regardless of how
much technical BS people want to throw into the equation after the fact.
It's just too bad that common sense is so rare these days in the US.
