You asked Had someone other than Clinton given the same testimony in similar circumstances
My answer to that question is yes. My back up is that at the time, a news organization apparently invented your question and sought to answer it themselves. I can only assume that there sample was huge, but it doesn't change the fact that the answer is yes, there are those someones, all of whom, like Clinton, were unfortunate enough to have been the exceptions.

1) I was going off of Spanky's syllogism, which related to impeachment, not a trial for perjury in teh courts.
2) Yes, they exist. But if the percent is 1 or 100, then the claims of improper motivation for the impeachment might be bolstered or weakened accordingly.
