In an interview with Brian Williams on NBS Wednesday night former president Bill Clinton claimed "
"The charges that the House sent to the Senate were false,"
Of course in his plea bargain to avoid a felony prosecution he stated
""But I now recognize that I did not fully accomplish that goal and that certain of my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false."
And he was held in contempt of court for his lying under oath (aka perjury), and obstructing of justice committed when he told those lies.
He went on to impugn the men appointed by the justice department to investigate his crimes and the news media by saying
"People in your business [liked the Lewinsky investigation] very much," Clinton told Brian Williams. "And they like what Ken Starr did because they thought it made good ink.
"[But] they didn't do a very good job of reporting for years all the innocent people he persecuted and indicted because they wouldn't lie and the assault on the American Constitution that he waged or that I was acquitted."
He wasn't acquitted he copped a plea and was held in contempt.
Going on to say
"And that the charges that the House sent to the Senate were false. So I did a bad thing. I made a bad personal mistake. I paid a big price for it. But I was acquitted because the charges were false."
Nope, the statements of the voting Senators totally bely that statement when senator after senator made it clear that although he committed the acts he was charged with they did not want to remove him from office.
So Clinton continues to try and rewrite history. The quotes are supplied by NewsMax as I unfortunately did not hear the interview but I would bet Williams did not challenge him on any of these bogus assertions he made.
