That, by definition, is perjury. No it's not. 'The offense of willfulling telling an untruth in a court after having taken an oath or affirmation." You still don't have it right after two tries. The false testimony has to be material to the case. A person can lie under oath all day long on questions immaterial to the case and never be convicted of perjury, yet this fits both definitions you provided. Again, it's obvious you have no clue about the subject you attempt to argue. However your definition does demonstrate why you don't posses the knowledge to argue such points. Isn't my defintion. It's the incorrect one you provided. That makes it yours. Either you didn't know it was incorrect, or you knew it was incorrect and provided it anyway for reasons one can only guess. Take your pick. Clinton was never convicted or even so much as indicted for any such crime, or any other crime for that matter. which does not mean he didn't lie. It means he's innocent of perjury. Presumed innocent by the legal system. Exactly. And anything contrary is a poorly based opinion. The Independent Counsel investigation spent $100 million and the better part of a decade trying to convict Clinton of anything and came back with nothing. Mr. Honeck's suggestion that Clinton got off because of his position is ridiculous to the point of hysteretics. In fact he was federally investigated more than any human being in the history of the United States. So you might want to start asking yourself how someone who was subject to so much scrutiny able to escape without so much as indictment for a charge you're so certain he committed. If you're not familiar with the facts of the situation, you should better educate yourself before you comment. indeed. Glad you agree. If only others would educate themselves... You still haven't gotten so much as the definition of perjury correct after two tries. You might want to look at yourself first, but that's just a suggestion. |

You still don't have it right after two tries. Take your complant to the people who wrote the dictionary. You can search numerous dictionaries and most of them don't have all the required elements required to support a federal case for perjury which a (1) a false statement is made under oath or equivalent affirmation during a judicial proceeding; (2) the statement must be material or relevant to the proceeding; and (3) the witness must have the specific intent to deceive. That's the definition given by the USSC, which is the one that counts. Ken Starr never came close to meeting that burden which is why he never so much as attempted to indict Clinton for the crime of perjury. Giving misleading but factually correct answers is not a crime. Providing answers you believe are correct is not a crime. So no matter how much you wish Clinton would have been convicted, he wasn't even so much as indicted and for very good reason. Those are the facts. Accept them and get over it. |

I am not a lawyer and I am not concerned with what the law calls perjury. American-English defines perjury as telling a lie under oath. Clinton did lie under oath. That is a fact. Move on. -- Bob Noel (goodness, please trim replies!!!) |

I am not a lawyer and I am not concerned with what the law calls perjury. Obviously, and that's my point. Thank you for agreeing. |

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". |

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. |
