You’re as wrong as those who claimed Bill Clinton was being impeached for “having an affair”. Both were charged with lying to a grand jury. That’s a felony. You can’t do it. If you do it you get prosecuted. End of story.

Right. Just keep rearranging the chairs on the Titanic. Kick the can down the road.

I agree. You cannot like to a grand jury under any circumstances. I suppose the only real question is why he was before a grand jury in the first place.

In Clinton’s case, we know that he lied to try to avoid losing a lawsuit. But in this case, it was, if I recall correctly, more of a fishing expedition.

The sad part of all this is that Bonds didn’t need to cheat. He was a great player regardless.

“Both were charged with lying to a grand jury. That’s a felony. You can’t do it. If you do it you get prosecuted. End of story.”

Bonds was not convicted on that charge. They had to fall back on the catchall “obstruction of justice” which could be used against just about anyone.
