He took the deal to avoid any further embarassment. By the letter of the law he NEVER LIED. Believe me, there will be some bigtime payback one day with some Republican over that travesty. There was something a couple of months back where a Republican Senator who was retiring said the whole Clinton thing was retribution for Nixon. People on my side of the aisle will get even.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Clinton will leave office free of the prospect of criminal charges after he admitted Friday that he knowingly gave misleading testimony about his affair with Monica Lewinsky in a 1998 lawsuit.
Independent Counsel Robert Ray
Under an agreement with Independent Counsel Robert Ray, Clinton's law license will be suspended for five years and he will pay a $25,000 fine to Arkansas bar officials. He also gave up any claim to repayment of his legal fees in the matter. In return, Ray will end the 7-year-old Whitewater probe that has shadowed most of Clinton's two terms.
"I tried to walk a fine line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely, but I now recognize that
I did not fully accomplish this goal and
am certain my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false," Clinton said in a written statement released Friday by the White House.
