Kay Bailey Hutchison on potential indictments in the Plame case:

I certainly hope that if there is going to be an indictment that says something happened, that it is an indictment on a crime and not some perjury technicality.

Hutchison’s statement on the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton:

(i) The President of the United States willfully, and with intent to deceive, gave false and misleading testimony under oath with respect to material matters that were pending before the Federal grand jury on August 17, 1998, as alleged in Article I presented to the Senate. I, therefore, vote `Guilty’ on Article I of the Articles of Impeachment of the President in this Proceeding.

So, to clarify, perjury as part of a conspiracy to protect someone who burned a CIA operative, with charges brought by a Republican prosectutor–not even worth an indictment. But perjury as a result of a trap set by a rabidly partisan prosecutor: sufficient grounds for impeaching the President of the United States, despite the fact that the perjury had nothing whatsoever to do with his role as President. Okey-dokey! (And this was not ordinary political rhetoric–Hutchison was formally justifying an impeachment vote during a Senate trial.) And I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of this when Fitzmas comes…

…Whoops: Julia, not suprisingly, already had this.
