How exactly wasn't he convicted of perjury if his license to practice

Come on - you are smarter than that.


Perjury is a crime, and as such, is defined in statute, not a
dictionary. I'm not defending Clinton's moral character, just stating he
was not convicted of perjury.

Remember, we are talking lawyers he

That's the difference between you and I.

In the sense that he was "convicted" - if you are censored by a judge,
held in contempt of court and have your license to practice suspended
because of an attempt to lie, under judicial instruction not to, then
you are as good as "convicted" under the broadly acceptable definition
of a term.

The ability to redefine common English to suit purposes other than
those provided by common sense is not relevant.
