18. That's where "depends on the meaning of the word is" comes in
Clinton went to law school and had some really good lawyers working for him. He knew how to weasel his way out of telling the truth while not technically committing perjury. Was he forthright about his affairs to the grand jury? No, he wasn't. But he worded it in such a manner that it wasn't technically perjury.
