No, legally being acquitted in a criminal court means that the government failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt. Being acquitted by the Senate means that your party has enough political power to keep a crook in the White House.

Contrast that to how Republican Senators walked over to the White House and told Nixon that it was time for him to go. Of course, back then there were also some Democratic statesmen who would not have looked the other way after Clinton committed perjury. And yeah, Nixon was a Republican and he got exactly what he deserved. Too bad your blind partisanship will not allow you to admit that a president who lies under oath in federal court has committed a serious offense - regardless of his party affiliation.

Anyway, Clinton was certainly guilty of lying in the Jones trial and he paid a steep price for it.

Meaning, not guilty, and unable to try again.
