    What lies are OK to tell in Grand Jury testimony? Is it OK to lie under oath about sexual acts with subordinates while standing accused of soliciting sexual acts from subordinates? Look, I couldn’t care less who was or is polishing Bill, and am in fact a bit nostalgic for those simpler times. However, when a man stands accused of sexual harassment by a subordinate it does matter if he lies under oath about sexual relations with subordinates. I guess it doesn’t seem as disgusting when you can find a worse scoundrel to compare him to.
