John Conyers actually said...
I think this becomes now a central issue in this case--when you are deciding how to deal with allegations of perjury--because I don't believe that anybody would be able to prove grand jury perjury; I do think that with regard to the deposition, it would be easier, and the president did unfortunately, in my judgment, when he said he couldn't remember being alone, transgress--but on the question about whether or not you take into account the underlying issue, in the case of Judge Nixon, the underlying issue was talking to a state prosecutor and intervening to get his partner's son's conviction lessened--I think very different.
