]actually he did not lie. he was accussed of having sex
and sex was defined in the brief.
Clinton had also said, "there is a sexual relationship, an
improper sexual relationship and many other kinds of
improper relationships"[12] which he defended as
truthful on August 17, 1998, hearing because of the use
of the present tense, famously arguing "it depends on
what the meaning of the word 'is' is"[13] (i.e., he was
not, at the time he made that statement, still having a
sexual relationship with Lewinsky). Under pressure from
Starr, who had obtained from Lewinsky a blue dress
with Clinton's **** stain, as well as testimony from
Lewinsky that the President had inserted a cigar tube
into her vagina, Clinton stated, "I did have a relationship
with Miss Lewinsky that was not appropriate."[1] Clinton
denied having committed perjury because, according to
Clinton, the legal definition[14] of oral sex was not
encompassed by "sex" per se. In addition, relying upon
the definition of "sexual relations" as proposed by the
prosecution and agreed by the defense and by Judge
Susan Webber Wright, who was hearing the Paula Jones
case, Clinton claimed that because certain acts were
performed on him, not by him, he did not engage in
sexual relations. Lewinsky's testimony to the Starr
Commission, however, contradicted Clinton's claim of
being totally passive in their encounters.
oral sex was not included in the definition, so he could
say according to the definition of having sex in the
impeachment procedings, he did not have sex
