Re: Have you solved a problem with a lie?
A lie by omission - or massaging the meaning of a word. "I did not have sex with...." being a famous example.
I presume that's the case of a certain Clinton and his interactions with a certain Lewinsky.
The beauty of that was Starr accused Clinton of lying about not having had "sexual relations". Starr was forced to define precisely what "sexual relations" were and, when Starr fucked that up, Clinton could quite rightly say, 'by that definition, I did not have "sexual relations". Lewinsky did, but not me'.
With Clinton having not had "sexual relations" by his opponent's own definition of that, he could hardly have lied when he said he hadn't had "sexual relations". It was Clinton's alleged lying which were grounds for impeachment. No lie, no impeachment. Starr blew his own case.
