There's something in the oath about telling the truth, the whole
truth, and nothing but the truth. (Well, at least as much as the
lawyers will let you get away with.)

Only the legal profession could get away from the whole truth, and
coming up with "misleading but factually correct". Deliberately
misleading is lying, and every parent worth a toot knows to teach this
to the kids. Clinton never grew up.

Now, just to emulate Clinton and the definition of "is":
Providing answers you believe are correct is not a crime, is true if
you believe you are telling the whole truth. It might be crime if you
twist the words of the question or the answer, such that you knowingly
intend for the hearer of the answer to not get the answer to the
question.
For example:
Mom: Did you throw your little brother into the lake?
Big brother: No.
But in his mind, he thinks: I threw him into the air over the
lake. He fell into the lake of his own accord.

Only a lawyer, which, come to remember, Clinton is. Or was. Or is
again. Define "lawyer".


Nice meaningless diatribe you have going on there. The best you can come up
with is YOU think Clinton committed perjury, which is clearly your opinion.
And still not one of you who believes Clinton committed perjury can come up
with any sort of reasonable explanation as to why he was never so much as
indicted for that crime.

The question was whether Clinton committed the crime of perjury or not. The
USSC says factually correct but misleading answers do not amount to perjury.

As the USSC is the supreme arbiter of the land, their opinions are what
matters, not yours.
