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.
You're missing the important point..why is he bringing up all this trash now..? Because Hillary is running for the WH..and it's gonna come out all over..remind Americans the 8 years of hell they put us through..so the Clintons are trying to"shape the battlefield"
It was the pants on fire part that got him impeached, we already knew he was a liar.
I actually agree that liberal Democrats are pretty similar to Democratic Socialists -- liberals have slightly more respect for the market. But a socialist is different. A socialist doesn't believe in private property, thinks workplaces should be "democratized" (meaning unions run everything), and depending on the branch of socialism, seems to think bureaucracy and democracy are synonyms.
Liberal Democrat: John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Dick Durbin. Democratic Socialist: Paul Wellstone, Bernie Sanders, Dennis Kucinich. Socialist: George Bernard Shaw, Karl Marx, Eugene Debs. I don't like any of them, but there's a difference.
Is this a paralell to McCarthy's refrence to Stuart Symington as an "Alledged Man"?
JUST ANOTHER LIE, HE NEVER TELLS THE TRUTH.
Spot on. You had Hillary's infantile rant yesterday and now this. My guess is that Hill's internals are a lot worse than what was announced a few days ago. Perhaps Bills stick sticks to Hillary.
I don need no steenkin hairs.
I loathe some if not all self serving politicians.
What can one expect from a liar?
Arrogance and self-absorption were never among his more celebrated shortcomings.
Ping!
Maybe that's what Sandy Burger took care of.
Thanks for posting that link. It makes me angry every time I see or hear PRESIDENT Bush snuggling up with this snake.
"I did a bad thing...but... the charges were false."
"Fake but accurate".
Things people afflicted with 'liberalysis' would say.
