he may have lied under oath, but, as I said, he was never found guilty of the CRIME of perjury... nor was he acquited. He was never even brought to court on that charge where a finding of guilt or acquital could have been rendered.
His disbarrment was an administrative function of the bar association, not a legal function of our courts and criminal justice system.
Understand now, granny?
Yeah, we can move on....after your lesson is finished sonny...
So lets review a little history....
Article I:
Perjury before the grand jury
Article II:
Perjury in the Jones case
Article alleges
perjury in the Paula Jones civil case, charging that the president provided
perjurious, false and misleading testimony as part of his answers in the affidavit and in his January 17 deposition
Article III: Obstruction of justice
Article alleges obstruction of justice, charging Clinton with encouraging Lewinsky to submit a
false affidavit and give false testimony in court, plotting to hide his gifts to her and attempting to find Lewinsky a job to prevent her truthful testimony. It also claims Clinton made
false and misleading statements to key White House staff and allowed his attorney, Bob Bennett to make
false statements about the Lewinsky affidavit.
Article IV: Abuse of power
Article alleges abuse of power, charging the president with making
misleading statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States, his Cabinet and White House aides. The last charge also contends Clinton frivolously asserted executive privilege and made
perjurious statements to Congress
SO;
never even brought to court on that charge(perjury)? WRONG Sonny.....
You do recall a little issue called impeachment?
where a finding of guilt or acquital could have been rendered.??
WRONG AGAIN Sonny.....
President of the United States Bill Clinton
was impeached by the House of Representatives on December 19, 1998, and acquitted by the Senate on February 12, 1999. The charges, perjury and obstruction of justice
---------------------------------------------
His disbarrment was an administrative function of the bar association, not a legal function of our courts and criminal justice system.????
More bullshit from the spinner in Chief, mm....
In April 1999, about two months after being acquitted by the Senate, Clinton was cited by Federal District Judge Susan Webber Wright for civil contempt of court for his "willful failure" to obey her repeated orders to testify truthfully in the Paula Jones sexual harassment lawsuit. For this citation, Clinton was assessed a $90,000 fine, and the matter was referred to the Arkansas Supreme Court to see if disciplinary action would be appropriate.[6]
Regarding Clinton's January 17, 1998, deposition where he was placed under oath, the judge wrote:
"Simply put, the president's deposition testimony regarding whether he had ever been alone with Ms. (Monica) Lewinsky was intentionally false, and his statements regarding whether he had ever engaged in sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky likewise were intentionally false . . . ."
Your dismissed, Sonny
