No, they tried to impeach him. They were just looking for any angle to do it with. They assigned an open ended special prosecution to find something, anything they could use and Clinton decided to perjure himself on it. It wasn’t noble
Listen, I’m not saying Clinton wasn’t rad as a president – he was – but I’d also say him cheating on his wife wasn’t very “noble”, either. Nor was lying about it on TV to the entire country after getting caught.
Yeah, I know, it’s Hillary, but still not a cool thing to do.
From that perspective i found it insane that she stayed with him and then tried to become president herself. Gal, you sucked it up to your cheating husband, because of your power greed. This is a red flag larger than at the Sowjet parades.
During the deposition, Clinton was asked “Have you ever had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky, as that term is defined in Deposition Exhibit 1?” The judge ordered that Clinton be given an opportunity to review the agreed definition. Afterwards, based on the definition created by the Independent Counsel’s Office, Clinton answered, “I have never had sexual relations with Monica Lewinsky.” Clinton later said, “I thought the definition included any activity by [me], where [I] was the actor and came in contact with those parts of the bodies” which had been explicitly listed (and “with an intent to gratify or arouse the sexual desire of any person”). In other words, Clinton denied that he had ever contacted Lewinsky’s “genitalia, anus, groin, breast, inner thigh, or buttocks”, and effectively claimed that the agreed-upon definition of “sexual relations” included giving oral sex but excluded receiving oral sex
She told her friend about it at the time in 1978. Her story has never changed. She went public in 1999. The problem seems to be that before that in 1998 she didn’t want to talk about it and denied the allegations.
He played the sax 🎷 on TV to get elected and then had sex in the oval office with that intern. Ahhh those were more innocent times.
Remember the outrage! A president who didn’t tell the truth about his sex life right away was unthinkable!
More than that, we tried to impeach him for it! Imagine that, our politicians being held accountable for their dishonesty.

I think the abuse of power dynamic was the worst part.
To be clear, for anyone too young to remember, he WAS impeached for 2 reasons: lying under oath and obstruction of justice.

It’s pretty funny
This is the most lawyer thing I’ve read. Hahaha. I totally forgot about that.
He’s only accused of raping one woman and she wasnt under age.
“suspected”
Not defending anything here but I don’t think he’s been formally accused

For sure. Not defending our advising anyone, just pointing out he’s never been officially charged or tried on it, out side of Congressional hearings
