I just don't get this. Lying can be problematic for reasons that have nothing to do with whether it's a crime. Suppose that Clinton lied to everyone and convinced us all that Somalia was a threat to our security, in order to justify military intervention there. Who in their right mind would say that the lie in his deposition was worse?
