He lied under oath.
Nope, he was acquitted of those charges. [washingtonpost.com]

Nothing in that article disputes the claim that he actually did lie under oath; it only says that he was acquitted, which is unsurprising because of course his political party would stand up for him. That's how things work, but it's obvious that he did lie.

That's an interesting state of mind you have there where "acquittal" means "didn't do it". There are plenty of examples where one can be acquitted of something and yet still have done the crime (for example, insufficient evidence, or based on evidence that was obtained illegally). Here, due to lying under oath, Clinton lost his law license for five years and had to pay a fine of $90,000. So I guess it did happen after all.

It's called being innocent until proven guilty...

He was proven guilty to the point of paying a fine and losing his law license. He just didn't get convicted by the Senate.
