Wrong again. It was for lying under oath. It's called perjury.
Yes .. lying under oath about sex. Perhaps you can spin it to being about harassing the young and vulnerable by abusing a position of authority. That certainly sounds different than receiving a BJ from an eager intern who can't swallow fast enough. Regardless, the lie given under oath was about sex.
Cheney and his ilk should be tried for war crimes and what was done to home owners by wall street was a much more contemptible crime. As Festive says, republican crimes are about serious things. Somehow democrats get harsher treatment over little things.
