re: #478 HappyWarrior

That whole business the more I look at it was done by a bunch of projecting Republicans who had far bigger skeletons than Bill did. I think Bill definitely acted improperly with Monica but that wasn’t up to the Congress to decide. I do realize he was impeached for the perjury and not the affair itself but it shouldn’t have gotten to that point.

I don’t think someone with Bill Clinton’s history would survive a Democratic primary* today. And I’m on the fence about whether he should have been impeached. The investigation went way off the rails, which is why the independent counsel law was allowed to expire and the special counsel regulations were written as a replacement. But at the end of the day, he did lie under oath and he did likely try to obstruct justice.

*Given the current president, obviously claims of sexual assault is not a disqualifying factor in a Republican primary.
