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.

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 😬
