So if clinton was impeached for Perjury...what was the lie?

Question

Was the lie he was having an affair? Or was the lie he knowingly sent American troops to a country that was no threat to the U.S.? Or was the lie Iraq was involved with 911? Or maybe the lie is the Bin Laden family has no ties with the Bush Family?

Point and case. You answered the question finally. He was impeached over an extra marital affair. Since when does that involve national security.

Answer 1

Clinton claimed he didn't have relations with Monica Lewinsky. Who should care except Hillary.

Bush is a totally different story. He has lied to the US about WMD in Iraq so that he and his friends can protect their oil interests. Halliburton made $600 a gallon in gas supplying our troops. Makes you wonder?

Answer 2

She wasn't in contact in the North eire negotiations both, the Irish noticeably a lot testified to that. "Hillary who?" Secondly, she will't be impeached for 2 causes, she's no longer the president and regardless of if she grow to be, she wasn't lower than oath even as she made those ridiculous lies up. She's nevertheless a scumbag, yet legally, she's sparkling.

Answer 3

This speaks volumes about the mindset of the American people: where nudity/sex is taboo but violence is OK. Where the televisions censor a bare bum, but have no problem with a slo-mo of someone's head being blown off.

I see this all the time on YA. The slightest 'dirty' reference will get lots of thumbs-down, yet references to bombing/nuking/turning to a glass crater will get thumbs-up. The people actually believe that Clinton's affair with Monica was a greater offense than invading another country. Bizarre.

Answer 4

Clinton was impeached for lying about his affair, Bush did the other stuff. Bush might be the downfall of the Americans. We Canadians are stuck with Steven Harper....., We don't impeach the liars, yet, we can never vote them out.

Answer 5

The first question is fair, and I thought you wanted to know. The rest of your post is a screed and shows your idiocy.

The issue of our troops is especially important to clarify. I assume you're talking about Bosnia, for which there was full Congressional and NATO approval. Huge difference vs. Iraq (which was also never a threat to the U.S., and that's NOT just in hindsight).

It's perfectly fair to debate whether we should EVER invade when our national security interests are not at stake... just as it's fair to ask what ARE our security interests. In the case of Bosnia, there was concern that Iran might actually send troops at the invitation of organized Muslim resistance - just in case you didn't know.

[ADDED] OK, with your detail, your sarcasm is clear, but I didn't see it. Not changing my text, though - the anti-Clintonites still need to see it, learn it, love it.

Answer 6

The perjury charge was identical to the one for which Scooter Libby now faces jail time.
The more important charge was obstruction of justice. Linda Tripp was threatened with the full force of the United States presidency, if she refused to commit a federal felony by lying to protect Clinton. This was the same charge that made Nixon resign, because he knew it was inexcusable.

Answer 7

Now this is intelligence gone amok. Maybe if your precious Clinton wasn't so darned concerned with what was going on in the Oval office at the time he had Bin laden in his grasphe would have taken care of him when he had him!! Is this really the liberal thought process? No wonder it took Bush to do the job cause you guys never would have gotten it right!

Answer 8

Having the affair with Lewinski.

Answer 9

He stated under oath that he didn't have sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, after which ensued a national debate on what sex is.

Answer 10

bush did not testify under oath that there were WMDs in Iraq, clinton left the stain on the dress and had to recant his denials when it came to light he did
