How about you take all of 10s to find out what Monica Lewinsky actually said about Clinton.
Monica Lewinsky has consistently said that her relationship with Bill Clinton was consensual.
Although she has described it as inappropriate and shaped by a significant power imbalance, she has, however not claimed that he coerced.
Indeed in later interviews and writing, she has emphasized the issue of power dynamics between a president and a young intern, while still maintaining that the encounters themselves were consensual.

In fact her life was fucked after the huge bullshit media fire storm the republicans stoked. She got basically black balled, no one would employ her (she said she had over to interviews, where no one would see her past her name)

At no time had she ever felt like Clinton raped her.
So stop spreading shit that he didn't do. Shit I don't even like the Clinton's. I think Bill caused a huge amount of problems, especially, along Albright, killing hundreds of thousands of Iraq children and people in the 90s due to unnecessarily evil sanctions regime.
And HRC has so much to answer for herself and yet to date, despite huge amounts of effort by their enemies no one has found any evidence that Bill raped or coerced anyone.
Even the Epstein survivors have categorically stated that Bill Clinton did not touch them
The thing I find odd about the argument that a power imbalance makes consent impossible is that would make it effectively impossible for any POTUS to have consensual relations except for maybe with other world leaders.
The important point here is that the relationship occurred within the workplace. No one would care if it were just your run of the mill affair. He isn't the first president, nor is he the last, to have one of those.
