He lied under oath while being questioned in a lawsuit alleging that he sexually harrassed a campaign staffer by playing with his junk with a towel over it, then when she walked into the room as requested, he stood up, dropped towel, and asked said campaign staffer to 'kiss it'. While being questioned under oath he denied having sexual relations with a White House intern. Facts support he lied under oath, for cause.
Facts support he lied under oath. That's why I say it's obvious he commited perjury.
Facts also state that he lied for a cause. Very few people lie for no reason.
What the facts don't show is that he lied for the prupose of obstructing justice. There are other possible reasons for him lying, not the least of them being that he was a married man.
The facts also show that the questioning did not have any legitimate point with regard to proving Jones' case that he sexually harassed her. Regardless of how he answered, the questions were not about what he did during the alleged incident. They were about a completely unrelated incident of consensual sex with someone else entirely. They were an attempt at character assassination.
One must look at this case as one looks at ALL criminal cases. Innocent until proven guilty.
It's pretty obvious that he was proven to be guilty of perjury.
He was not proven to be guilty of obstruction of justice because there was no evidence which was presented which proved that he lied in order to obstruct justice.
The idea that he was guilty of this crime is merely an opinion, and it is one that is not supported by facts. It is entirely based on conjecture.
