Subject: RE: BS: Woodward blows Scooter indictment away
Amos,

Impeached he was - that means brought to trial.

He was let off with a slap on the wrist.

"There was little justification for interrogating Clinton on personal sexual activities, moral or immoral. IIRC, there is actually nothing illegal about spouting falsehoods in a court of law if they are not germane to the purposes and principles of the case. How relevant is closet sex to the repute of the country or the effectiveness of its management? Marginally."

EXCEPT that the investigation was about Slick Willy's SEXUAL attacks on others, NOT about " the repute of the country or the effectiveness of its management" Seem relevent given the investigation.

"IIRC, there is actually nothing illegal about spouting falsehoods in a court of law if they are not germane to the purposes and principles of the case."

I will remember this- IF any Republican is brought to trial for any reason, he gets to decide what requires him to speak truthfully.


IF no crime was committed, than Scooter had no reason to tell the truth, according to what you say. So,...


I still think BOTH should serve jail time. If someone shoots a policeman after actually running a red light, I do not think he should get a lesser penalty than someone who shoots a policeman after being accused of robbing a bank.
