The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I don’t want to disagree with your main point, I just want to say that this is a misstatement of what happened with Clinton. He was being sued for sexual harassment by Paula Jones in civil court. He was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction during that investigation.
The hinky part of it is that Kenneth Starr was originally supposed to be investigating whether the Clintons had participated in fraudulent real estate dealings. When that investigation turned up nothing, he was directed to look into Clinton’s testimony about his relationship with Lewinsky, which had nothing to do with the original investigation. It was a massive fishing expedition. At one point they had the FBI working with Lewinsky’s friend to secretly record her talking about the relationship.
Depending on how much you believe David Brock - they were going to keep going until they found something. They were also happy to make up a lot of shit too - the stuff about state troopers bringing in women for Bill to sleep with, Vince Foster and the other “murders.” The entire investigation was not about justice.
Which of course doesn’t make Bill Clinton not a lecherous shitbag and sex pest. The way the world treated and treats Lewinsky is fucked up. He probably did harass Jones, if not all of the other weird mentally ill women Alex Jones types like to trot out.
Agreed on all counts.
