Philadelphia - Gov. Ed Rendell (D) said in a federal deposition on Jan. 2, 2002 that if asked under oath about a hypothetical instance of adultery on his part, he might not answer honestly, The Bulletin has learned.
Mr. Rendell was then a gubernatorial candidate responding to lawyers for Don and Teri Adams about events that transpired on Oct. 2, 1998, when the brother and sister protested a Philadelphia visit by Bill Clinton in anticipation of the president's impeachment. Members of the Teamsters union assaulted the two that evening.
Mr. and Miss Adams received civil recompense for the actions of the Teamsters in March. Mr. Rendell was initially named as a defendant in the Adams' lawsuit; they alleged that, as mayor at the time, he encouraged Teamsters Local 115 to have two of its female members press assault charges against Mr. Adams. On July 8, 1999, Mr. Adams was found not guilty.
Five teamsters, meanwhile, pled guilty to charges of assault and received probation for their aggression against the Adamses.
Larry Klayman, an attorney from the D.C.-based nonprofit Judicial Watch, began asking the future governor about the nature of the perjury allegation against President Clinton in 1998 in order to contend that any visit by a president likely to face impeachment charges would raise security risks. The deposition took place at Esquire Deposition Services in Philadelphia.
Mr. Rendell registered his view that the "impeachment was a joke. I thought it was probably the biggest taint of the American constitutional history that we've had."

Fast Eddie is saying he might lie under oath. Depending on the situation, he might be able to do that an not commit perjury.
Easy solution: Do not commit adultery and then you won't have the dilemma about lying to cover it up.
"Well, quite - quite apart from the impeachment was the fact that the President lied under oath," Mr. Klayman replied. "Did you consider that to be a joke?"
"Gosh, probably as a prosecutor," Mr. Rendell answered, "I'm used to people lying under oath. And, you know, if - if I cheated on my wife and was asked about it under oath, I might lie about it too."
"What others kinds of things warrant lying under oath besides cheating on your wife?" Mr. Klayman then asked.
Mr. Rendell's attorney Peter Winebrake objected. "It's irrelevant," he said. "Don't answer it."
The comments were in reference to the Paula Jones case, and Clinton's lies under oath during the prosecution of that case. Rendell is saying he would have done the same thing. Klayman than asks what else he would be willing to lie about under oath. Rendell responds by looking to the ceiling and all around the room, before his attorney objects. And we've got THAT on video.
It was clear to most people in that room, that Governor Rendell would be willing to perjure himself.
And btw, just like Clinton, Rendell is known, at least locally for cheating on his wife. I was friends with someone with whom he made such an attempt. He likes them beautiful, lean and young. As he is getting to be an old and fat guy, who looks rather unhealthy, perhaps it's not as easy for him as it was in his younger days. : )
BTW, of course we still want to fight those Clinton's. Even though Obama has won the nomination, Hillary and Bill are not going to go away. If Obama doesn't want her for VP (which would be silly as he'll end up a dead man), he had better quickly name his nominee, before the draft for VP for Hillary, that she began last night, takes hold and he's forced into it. How easily she is able to control some of the masses.
We believe Rendell perjured himself in our case, btw.
