6. It's Not Perjury, If Not A Material Lie About The Specific Case. . .

. . .under edjudication. And, it's legally questionable as to whether or not it was even a lie. Might have been conveniently close to one, but open to question as to whether any law was broken at all.

8. he was found guilty

of contempt of court iirc, not perjury

fwiw the former is a frequent plea bargain down

it is arguable (at best) as to whether the lie was material. considering it was a sex harassment case, a lie about sex is arguably material.

regardless, i don't think any sitting president should be subjcet to lawsuits for any behavior that occurred prior to election.

so, i was against the whole thing as a witchhunt

but given the trial, whether it was material is arguable either way

9. Well, A Couple Of Points

It was not a sexual harrassment suit. It was a civil rights case, because the statute of limitations had expired on harassment. So, a current affair is not material.

As to the part of it "never should have happened", we agree. The suit could have had SofL suspended by court order and pending the term of service.

And, there was no judicial trial, was there? Just a Senate trial and he was acquitted.

11. again

and i am sorry, but you are correct. it was civil rights, not sex harassment (even though the underlying activity was sexual harassment in nature). my bad. forgot about that.

but i still think it was ARGUABLY material. a current affair is material if it could be shown to be consisten with the pattern of behavior that was being alleged -supervisor having sex with underling.

again, i say it's arguable, not at all clear cut

but excellent point onthe civil rights thang. you are correct, and i was mistakne
