Sen. Ensign: My affair wasn’t ‘legally wrong’

[strollingbones]

FERNLEY, Nev. - Sen. John Ensign told The Associated Press on Wednesday that his affair with a friend's wife was different from former President Bill Clinton's relationship with a White House intern because he didn't lie about it under oath.

"I haven't done anything legally wrong," the Nevada Republican said.

"President Clinton stood right before the American people and he lied to the American people," Ensign said. "You remember that famous day he lied to the American people, plus the fact I thought he suborned perjury. That's why I voted for the articles of impeachment."

(left out parts)

Ensign's attorney has also said that Ensign's parents paid the woman and her family $96,000 after learning about the affair.

'The truth must come out'
Ensign once called on President Bill Clinton to resign after his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky erupted in 1998, declaring: "The truth must come out."

I wonder what he would have said early on if asked about it under oath.

remember what your mother said a lie is a lie.

True...but unless under oath it's not illegal....

Yes, the good senator has much to be proud of.

He's another great member of "The Family" that lives on C-Street.

You know the answer to that.

 

[cunclusion]

Thing is didnt the Republicans claim to be morally above Democrates for the last couple of elections. This doesnt sound very moral at all.

 

[Truthmatters]

Just one of the many ways they Republican party dupes its silly followers.

 

[Newby]

I guess that means that the Democrats weren't duped by Clinton, they just have no morals at all to hold him too? Amazing.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Whether Edward or Ensign, whether Craig or Clinton -- the behavior is despicable.

 

[William Joyce]

Her divorce attorney may quibble with that.

You know........he may have not done anything illegal under the laws of mankind...............

But.........HaShem (God) told us that He has laws also. They're called the 10 Commandments (a thing the GOP likes to run up the flagpole regularly), and in those laws, it states "thou shalt not commit adultery".

Nope. He broke the laws of God, and since the GOP follows God, Ensign broke the law.
