Clinton breaks deal with prosecutor - Now says charges against him as president were false

President Bill Clinton told NBC's Brian Williams tonight charges brought against him by the House of Representatives were false, contradicting a plea bargain deal he made with Independent Counsel Robert Ray that he admit he gave false testimony under oath to a federal grand jury.

In a blistering attack on Ray's predecessor, Kenneth Starr, Clinton accused the independent counsel of persecuting innocent people, indicting them because they wouldn't lie and assaulting the Constitution.

"I was acquitted," he told Williams. "And ... the charges that the House sent to the Senate were false. So I did a bad thing. I made a bad personal mistake. I paid a big price for it. But I was acquitted because the charges were false."

There was no follow-up by Williams.

The articles of impeachment passed by the House in 1998 included the accusation that he lied under oath. Yet, Clinton admitted Jan. 19, 2001, as part of his deal with Ray, he had lied under oath while testifying about his relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

"I tried to walk a fine line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely," he said in a written statement. "But I now recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal and that certain of my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false.

Maybe Mark Felt could leak them.

"Clinton is a pathological liar. Period."

That really is the best and simplest way to state it.

Both Clintons are utterly shameless, in my opinion. And from all that I have observed, they are like well-oiled machines........like the EverReady bunnies. They just keep going and going and going. Nothing fazes them.....unless, of course, you would see their behavior in private...flying lead crystal ashtrays, lamps 'n all.......yelling anti-semitic slurs at each other. Charming.

They explode in private. In public, they are the ICE KING & QUEEN.

Char :)

Good point.

What is also so amazing is that so many, otherwise intelligent people, are so willing to go along with it and they do so with a straight face.

Liberal Democrat...Democratic Socialist... Socialist... there is a difference.

Yes, there is a difference. There are also differences between a '63, a '65 and a '67 Volkswagen, but just as in those cars, the differences are subtle, recognized by few, and all are headed in the same direction.

Well, if you think the direction of this country under FDR was only subtly different from what this country would have been like under, say, Karl Marx, then you and I have a difference of opinion.

The reason I bring all this up, by the way, is that I think on principle we should avoid the huffing and puffing and overstatement and doomsdaying that can tend to make us less credible in the eyes of the general public.
