The "semantics" however is what a charge of perjury is all about.
There is no such broadly worded crime as "lying under oath".  If
you're going to argue that Clinton comitted perjury then you're going
to have to frame your argument around its legal definition.
Otherwise, it's as legally pointless as claiming that an abortion
doctor committed "homicide" or a used car saleman committed "robbery".
Emotionally, mebbe.  Legally, not a chance.
