" “intentionally false” testimony" To most of that means lying. But, then again "it depends on what the meaning of the word is is".

"In finding that Clinton deliberately lied"

I recall Scooter Libby being charged for basically doing the same this as Clinton.

Double standard comes to mind.

Lying isn't a crime.

If we could make it to where politicians were not allowed to lie for political gain, wonder how many would be left to vote for??

You're right, it's only $90,000 of the way there and one Law License please.

Then explain why Libby was charged.

Lying IN COURT IS A CRIME.

LYING to federal investigators is a crime. Which IS what we re talking about not, talking with your buddies and some card game.

It's amazing how some you constantly want to move the goalposts to cover your own deficiencies.

Until they are put under oath the only thing to keep people from lying is the risk of slander.

And that's what Clinton was impeached for, and found innocent of by the Senate.
