                                WHen he lied, he lied to the press. by kelli217 2005-02-08 12:13:47
When he testified for the special prosecutor and to Congress, his testimony hinged on some very minor points of law regarding definitions of terms. When he testified in the actual sexual harassment case, he did perjure himself with regard to Miss Lewinsky, and was convicted for it and lost his license to practice law in Arkansas.

However, there's another fine point of law that should have been applied to the perjury case, and the fact that it wasn't is grounds for appeal. If you ask a defendant in a criminal trial, "Did you commit this crime?", the expected response is, "No, I did not." Prosecutors who achieve convictions don't rub it in by going back and prosecuting for perjury, it just isn't done -- but in this case they did. Political motivations? Your guess is as good as mine. Also, perjury doesn't usually pertain to testimony that's not germane to the case, and it's debatable whether or not testimony regarding Miss Lewinsky was germane to the case with Ms. Jones.
