Nope, you got the law wrong.  Billy will lying in the deposition in order to protect his sex life and marriage, didn't work out that way for him. Like most of us, he was lying to weasel out of getting his wife mad for whoring around.  If I and probably most men if in his shoes, I would have told the lawyers for Jones and Ken Starr that my sex life was none of their damn business.  But Bill being Bill and a lawyer, he weaseled. He was "Charged" with CIVIL contempt of court for obstruction, he decided not to take the charge to a Petite court of his peers to fight the Judges ruling, but it was his right to do so.  Big difference between Civil and Criminal charges of perjury. Civil contempt is the same charge as not showing for jury duty, just a fine, not jail time.  Besides, have you not noticed Hillary is running for Prez.   In this election, the people are left with a choice of the lesser of two weasels.  But at least one of the weasels has the right qualifications for being Prez.
