Quit trying to undermine what Bill Clinton did. Just because it was heavily politicized doesn't mean it wasn't also an egregious offense.
There's a reason pretty much every organization in the world has written rules regarding the relationships between its members, especially when there are power imbalances. I can't think of a bigger possible power imbalance than the US President and an intern.
And it goes the other way too. What if Lewinsky had been an intelligence asset for a foreign nation? Or even if she was just a lobbyist for some special interest group?
The US was lucky that Lewinsky was a victim of sexual harassment and not a fucking spy. She was demonized so heavily in the aftermath she literally moved out of the country.
So yes, he lied but so did Trump (as we have learned hundreds, if not thousands of times he is a manipulating liar). He legit in his entire cabinet of crazy people are hands down not letting the files come out without being heavily redacted because almost all of them will be in trouble for what they did to under aged girls! Deflection deflection deflection, and the media won’t show it because they’re owned by the billionaires in the pockets of Trump.
Trump has lied numerous times about knowing about what was going on on the island yet he went there and there are pictures of him being charmed up with Jeff,so how is that better than Clinton lying about whatever he did, than hardcore proof evidence of Trump being affiliated with a sex trafficker?!?? Two wrongs don’t make a right, therefore, Trump should be impeached for that as well, but won’t because the Republicans will never let that pass so how is that justice?
Honestly, the entire Trump cabinet should be impeached and removed for a lot more than what Clinton did so seriously what the fuck is happening in America?!?! we are in a spiral of misinformation and no information due to the fact that the news outlets are owned by billionaires!
Lewinsky was never investigated as to her status as an intelligence asset, or if she was it was never made public. For me it is plausible, though probably not probable that she was a spy. She certainly could have been though, this was at the end of the Cold War and there was talk at the time that her family being from a Warsaw Pact country made it a possibility she was at least, leveragable - all just rumors but curious to think about in my opinion.
/tinfoil also she went on The Tom Green Show right after the whole thing blew up 😬
It's not undermining what Clinton did, dork. It's highlighting how far our government has fallen that it won't hold Trump and his admin to any sort of responsibility for much more egregious acts against the country as a whole. It's all dog and pony show now.
