the issue was not the blow job. The issue was subordinating perjury in a civil rights case where he was a defendant.
Bullshit. It was about the blowjob.
If we excluded every male from public office because of sexual misconduct there would be no person in office.
It was about the perjury in the civil rights case. You want to dance around that issue, but he did fire the woman because she would not put out and he did recruit others to lie about it. which is why he lost his licence. And wound up paying her off more than she originally asked for.
Actually it was the paula jones civil suit not a civil rights case. Furthermore, based on the legal definiton the lie had to be material to the case on order for it to be considered perjury and clinton's lie about his relationship with monica had no material bearing on whether he harassed paula jones or not.
Perjury is the "willful and corrupt taking of a false oath in regard to a material matter in a judicial proceeding." It is sometimes called "lying under oath;" that is, deliberately telling a lie in a courtroom proceeding after having taken an oath to tell the truth. It is important that the false statement be material to the case at hand—that it could affect the outcome of the case. It is not considered perjury, for example, to lie about your age, unless your age is a key factor in proving the case.
Perjury - what is it?
P.S. He lost his license and paid a fine for his contempt of court for making false statements not the reasons you presented. How many more things are you going to get wrong?
