MORGAN: ‘He Lied Under Oath.’ That’s It

MONEY TALK ‘He Lied Under Oath.’ That’s It By TOM MORGAN • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com The bloodbath-cum-circus in Washington these days? It awakens memories. Of how a notorious American ambassador handled a similar brouhaha – the Clinton impeachment. He deployed a simple device. With it, he brought a certain order to the mayhem of the thinking of his friends. In one stroke he turned their murky thinking to crystal clarity. I am certain he would use the device today. G.…
