Yes it does, and all the two objects of this investigation have to do is plead
their right to not speak under the Fifth Amendment. That they have not done
this, and have testified that nothing happened, then gone on to be taped by
people saying it did happen and urging people to lie about it is what this
investigation is about. Clinton knows that if he does plead the Fifth , that his
administration is over, which is why liberals have their skirts all up in a
bunch about this, and exposing their own hipocracy...
