I didn't say Clinton was a felon.
Oh. I knew exactly what your response would be to your lie!
They're similar, although unlike Clinton, Newt didn't commit a felony as a result of it.
You are implying Clinton committed a
felony, which he didn't. Ergo, you are a liar.
FOX News Channel senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano falsely asserted on FOX & Friends First that Clinton "committed a federal felony by lying under oath."
In fact, the Senate acquitted Clinton. In order for a lie under oath to amount to perjury -- as Senator Daniel Akaka (D-HI) explained on the floor of the Senate on February 12, 1999 -- it must be "material" to the underlying case. U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright ruled that Clinton's deposition in the Monica Lewinsky case was immaterial to the sexual harassment suit that Paula Jones brought against Clinton. As a judge, Napolitano almost certainly knows that as a legal matter, Clinton is not guilty of a felony.
