    Actually not quite, a deposition is part of the court proceeding and you are subject to perjury and obstruction charges in the court in which the proceedings are being held if you do not give truthful testimony and judges can be present and in this case Judge Wright was present during the Clinton deposition in the Jones civil rights lawsuit.

    Ah still have your hate on for Bill Clinton eh?

    Americans overwhelmingly disagree with you

    Here is a comparison from two Gallup polls looking at the past seven presidents. The first figure is from 2012, gauging the percentage of people who think history will judge the former president to be at least “average.” The second number is the average approval rating of the president while he was in office.

    George W. Bush

    · 2012: 53%

    · 2001-2009: 49.4%

    Bill Clinton

    · 2012: 88% (60% said he will be remembered as an “outstanding” President)

    · 1993-2001: 55.1%

    George H.W. Bush

    · 2012: 79%

    · 1989-1993: 60.9%

    Ronald Reagan

    · 2012: 89% (69% “outstanding”)

    · 1981-1989: 52.8%

    Jimmy Carter

    · 2012: 59%

    · 1977-1981: 45.5%

    Gerald Ford

    · 2012: 75%

    · 1974-1977: 47.2%

    Must irritate the hell out of you that no one agrees with your hate on for Clinton.

    So what? I would imagine most perjury is during the deposition stage since most testimony in the court ROOM has already been covered in depositions. What is the distinction you are attempting to make?

    Oh I think Clinton is trailer trash of the highest order, but I just don't really care that he is giving the Mayor of NYC an oath of office. If he is relegated to doing minor crap like that, more the better. Maybe they have a new dog catcher that needs to be sworn in as well. If it were my city, I would prefer the swearing in be performed by someone who is actually involved in local government or politics as opposed to a carpet bagging money whore who squats in town when it suits him. I cannot think of a single President whom I think I would want to swear in our Mayor, democrat, republican, Whig or otherwise, now that I think about it. Keep the local politics local, but that is not my locality to bother with.

    What a sham that was by Starr. He tried so hard to find some kind, any kind, of abuse from Clinton with this broad investigation on virtually everything Clinton had done, spent something like $70 million, and all he could walk away with was an impeachment acquittal for the charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. And rightfully so to acquit him. There's no federal law forbidding someone who cheated on their spouse, so the idea of sense him to court over it is ridiculous.

    But hey, it investigation probably helped ensure a Bush victory in 2000. I suppose you can be proud of that.

    And you still have a love for this sleaziest man who ever occupied the office.

    And as evidence here the majority still believe the leftist lie that he was persecuted for getting a blowjob and are clueless as to the reprehensible treatment of women he engaged in?

    Are you or do you just not object to women being treated in that manner and are OK with bosses lying in court when they get sued over it?

    Liberalss love politicians that outright lie to the faces of the American people. Especially liberal politicians.

    "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Mrs. Lewinsky."

    "If you like your insurance plan you can keep it."

    Ahh the evidence that Clinton had committed a felony in a court of law was brought to him by Tripp, he turned it over to Reno telling her his office did not want a part of it as they had the Waterwater/Castle Grande et al affairs they were investigating and Reno refused and told him his office would investigate. And impeachments are not "aquitted" he remains impeached and he wasn't left in office because he did not commit the perjury and obstruction of justice, enough Democrats said it was OK to do so for a President. Remember they wanted to censure him for doing so but the Constitution does not allow it.

    And the Starr investigations put over 20 behind bars including a sitting governor.

    As I mentioned to the poster who posted poll numbers, the fact is the majority of Americans are ignorant of why he was impeached and why he should have been removed from office. Thanks for proving the point.

    Tell me are you aware there are laws against sexually molesting subordinate employees? Soliciting sex from federal subordinate employees? Granting special favors are rewards to subordinate employees who do grant you such sexual favors? Are there laws against perjury and obstruction of justice? Witness tampering? And do we hold Presidents to higher standards of decorum and behavior and that they should treat with honor the office to which they are elected?

    Hillary will win the Presidency in 2016 BECAUSE this Country LOVES Bill Clinton. Not to mention, the GOP will choose another complete (*)(*)(*)(*)**** to run. Just like they did with Romney.

    You should since these are offices of public trust and honor and have to do with the law.

    I can't think of one who came close to Clinton's reprehensible behaviors and regards for the American people. These weren't matters of differences on policy.

    The question is why do they love such a man, especially the left who presents itself as the protector of women from abuse in the workplace.

    Yet the mainstream media and DNC has convinced the ignorant masses precisely that as evidenced in this thread.

    They love him because he lies better then the last 10 Presidents. He lied a hell of a lot better then Reagan, both Bush's and Obama. I thought Bush Jr was a bad liar until Obama showed up. He is awful at lying.

    You didn't say anything to contradict me. I agree a deposition is part of a court proceeding but they do not take place in a court of law.

    I don't know why people are so obsessed with semantics. Clinton committed perjury, period, end of discussion. It doesn't really matter if it was in open court, before a grand jury, during a sworn deposition or in a sworn affidavit.

    Clinton's wandering dick was EVERYWHERE. It was unavoidable. It was IN YOUR FACE in every media form.

    Tell us how much you respect the POS, this scum stain. I need to hear it. Defend perjury.

    Or you can attack me again. I crap bigger than you.

    Yes they do, a the court of law is not just the courtroom and Judge Wright presided over his deposition.

    The right-wing's phony outrage is comical to watch. Does anyone seriously think this party of sabotage and obstruction gives a damn about the "honor of the presidency"? If they did, Bush the dry drunk would never have been nominated.

    Parents have control over what their children view on TV. Why are you letting them watch the 6 O'clock news which is full of stories rape, murder, war, etc. It isn't for children.

    An American necessity. Remember 9-11? Oh that's right, the liberals would have done nothing. Since Bill Clinton did nothing it too a real administration to actually do something about it.

    Nothing phony on my part.

    As opposed to the party that kept Clinton in office and even now put him on a pedestal? You are kidding aren't you.

    UNfortuniately when Clinton was President we couldn't allow them to watch the news.

    Impeachment is only an indictment
    He was tried in the senate and they failed to convict him
    How many married people will admit any sexual relations with someone other than their spouse

    I noticed someone called him trailer trash
    Bill Clinton was the only president to have been a Rhodes scholar

    Bill Clinton did go after OBL and was accused by Republicans of wagging the dog. They were more concerned with the Lewinsky scandal that eventually went nowhere.

    Iraq had what to do with 9/11? Please clarify.

    Fair enough.

    They actually stated that the evidence wasn't strong enough.

    It's too bad for Starr that he couldn't provide sufficient evidence to convince the Senate.
