Where can I find out what point in the testimony he referred to voting republican in 2000?...Intending for the commission to think he voted for Bush.

I want to see the question he was asked.

[vbmoneyspender]

It was when he was being questioned by Jim Thompson. And I believe this portion of his testimony came in as part of his long-winded response to Thompson's first question to him, which was (paraphrasing here) "What's true? What you said in 2002 to Jim Angle at Fox or what you are saying now in your book?"

CLARKE: Thank you, John.

(LAUGHTER)

Let me talk about partisanship here, since you raise it. I've been accused of being a member of John Kerry's campaign team several times this week, including by the White House. So let's just lay that one to bed. I'm not working for the Kerry campaign. Last time I had to declare my party loyalty, it was to vote in the Virginia primary for president of the United States in the year 2000. And I asked for a Republican ballot.

-------------------------------------------------------

Here Clarke lies under oath. He was talking about partisanship and wants to "just lay that one to bed" meaning that he cannot be accused of partisanship because he voted Republican in 2000 (Bush was the Republican in 2000). Clearly, he goal was to deceive the commissioners, the press, and all Americans. Deceiving others is lying. I would like to know the criminal definition for lying under oath.

you can find the Clarke's testimony re "Republican ballot" early in the exchange with Secretary Lehman.

Just in case any one doubted his loyalty he then proceed to list the presidents he had worked for: Reagan, Bush and Bush. He did not mention Clinton!
