What, exactly, hasn't he told the truth about?	He's admitted he lied; he's
practically groveled with apology.  The only thing he HASN'T admitted is
breaking the law.  And he has a point; he may not have.  I doubt a perjury
charge would stand up in a real trial.	And if he DID admit breaking the law,
you don't REALLY think the Reps would stop the drive for impeachment, do you?
They'd say, "He ADMITTED breaking the law.  We HAVE to impeach, now!
BWAHAHAHA!"

If you recall, several months ago, Orrin Hatch said if the President just
apologized, the whole thing would probably be dropped.  He apologized.  Did
they drop it?  No, quite the opposite.  Why would anyone believe these people?

He has.  Many, many times.
