If I had a nickle for every time a sitting president was shamed because Bill Clinton got a blowjob, I'd have 2 nickles. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
What happened?
Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 after it came out that a white house intern, Monica Lewinsky, had been giving him blowjobs, and now this.
He was impeached because he lied about having an affair with an intern. Not because of the act.
The Ken Starr report that lead to Clinton's impeachment begs to differ.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starr_Report
That report is ten times the size of the 9-11 report btw.
Reading the charges now is hilarious considering Trump is guilty of the same hundreds, possibly thousands of times over.
He was impeached for daring to be a Democrat when the Republicans had an axe to grind. Monica didn't even work at the white house yet when Ken Starr started his investigation.
Whatever, slick Willie was a sexual predator.
Aww, it's so quaint these days!
No, he was impeached for lying to Congress about it.
If he had just said, "Yeah, Monica blew me," he would have been fine.
Lol. If he'd said that the Repuglicunts would have impeached him for infidelity. He was in a no win situation.
Back then the Republicans still pretended to respect the Constitution. Infidelity isn't a crime, and committing a crime is a requirement for impeachment per the Constitution.
Infidelity is not an impeachable offense. Perjury is.
Would it have been an even bigger scandal? Maybe.
an impeachable offense is whatever the house says it is
No, it has to be for a high crime or misdemeanor. Cheating on your wife isn't illegal.
Out of curiosity, who do you think defines "high crimes and misdemeanors"
...and he very, very carefully threaded the needle and chose his words to avoid perjury. It's why he had questions like asking them to define "sexual relations" (the definition they gave didn't include oral, so he did not have sexual relations with her by their definition) and what the definition of "is" was (specifically does it mean currently or does it include at any time in the past).
His popularity soared higher, the lower his pants went. I seen it.
And he won against congress in that impeachment.
i was there i seen't it too
We old. We remember the impact, the cultural shift....of the ninja turtle.
