Behind the Clinton legacy - (intelligent wrap-up of MonicaGate & Hillary's enabling hypocrisy!)

As it happens, during the course of the "The Truth" — which is more "In Touch" weekly than "New York Times" — Klein talks a bit about sex (which has been the topic of only walk-away headlines from the book).

It helps perpetuate the long-standing myth that the Bill Clinton impeachment trial was all about sex. It wasn't.

The sex and the lies and the depositions were all of Bill Clinton's making.

As my colleague Rich Lowry wrote in his book on the Clinton presidency, "Legacy" (Regnery Publishing, Inc., 2003) accusing Ken Starr of being obsessed with sex "was a little like attacking a bank examiner for being 'obsessed with fraud.'" He continued, "Starr couldn't help it that Clinton had happened to perjure himself over his sexual conduct during a deposition in a sexual harassment case." Clinton, as president, actually committed crimes. And, for that, the Founding Fathers stipulated punishment.

What crimes were Bill Clinton found guilty of by the U.S. House of Representatives — as he became the second president in history to be impeached (but not removed from office)?

Providing "perjurious, false and misleading testimony" to a grand jury and of obstruction of justice "in an effort to delay, impede, cover up and conceal" evidence. As it happens, the 42nd president of the United States was, as former White House aide Lanny Davis has admitted, "within inches of losing the presidency." And that was of his own doing, not Ken Starr's.

It's hard to get around the "I" word, but try they will. Lowry summed up the work of the perpetual Legacy Repair Project: impeachment is "an indelible stain on his legacy that he and his defenders will spend all time railing against and futilely attempting to erase."

good catch.

He perjured himself more than once in that depo.

Q. Did you ever have sexual relations with Gennifer Flowers?

MR. BRISTOW: Your Honor, I want to object to that on the basis that there has not been proper predicate laid in that regard. The questioning up to this point in time indicates that the only mention of state employment came as testified to by the deponent. Your Honor has probably had access to the testimony of Gennifer Flowers, who, putting it like this, her allegations, even if believed, indicates that nothing in the nature of a sexual relationship was occurring or occurred after the time that she received any state employment, so the nexus that Your Honor has been requiring in, or the predicate, is just simply not there, and they've had ample opportunity to, you know, to develop that nexus or that predicate today, but they have not done so, and putting it like this, asking whether or not something occurred back in the early seventies or early eighties within the state employment is, we're talking about 1991, and Your Honor has previously made a ruling about the scope, '86 forward, it's just one of those areas that they should not be allowed to pursue.

JUDGE WRIGHT: All right and I'm sure Mr. Bennett agrees with you; is that correct Mr.Bennett?

MR. BENNETT: I'll join in, Your Honor.

JUDGE WRIGHT: All right. The objection is overruled. The Plaintiff's counsel may ask consistent with the Court's prior rulings. Go ahead.

MR. BENNETT: You may ask the question.

A. The answer to your question, if sexual relations are defined as –

MR. BENNETT: No, Mr. President

THE WITNESS: What?

MR. BENNETT: Go ahead.

A. That's right, that was upheld by the court. The answer to your question, if the definition is section one there in the first piece of evidence you gave me, is yes.

Q. On how many occasions?

A. Once.

The Senate DemOrats weren't about to convict Peckerhead Clinton...under any circumstances, I mean, ANY!

"within inches of losing the presidency."

Yeah, two inches and a stained dress.

[harpo11]

Gee, Martha Stewart was jailed for lying to the FBI. Gosh, Clinton sure should have been treated similarly if all "men" were truly created equal as our Founding Fathers stipulated and sacrificed much to defend and protect.

"Yeah, two inches and a stained dress"

Add, and like a deer caught in the headlights.

I'm sure your first FR post has a message...I sure can't decipher it.

Gee, Martha Stewart was jailed for lying to the FBI.

And the lie was pleading innocent to the charges. I never could understand that deal.

Concerning Clinton, if that perjury charge had not jumped up so quickly, requiring Starr to bring an indictment, or whatever, under the Independent Counsel Act, Clinton would have been impeached on much more serious charges. The evidence room was full of stuff. The Democrats, no matter their protestation, were delighted to grab the "sex" charge and run with it to avoid the others.

"good catch."

Thanks, bitt!
