Edit: A few comments mention the power imbalance between Lewinsky as an intern and the president. This meme shouldn’t be seen as me approving of Clinton’s behavior but point out that an adult man having “sexual relations” with a child should have some bearing against a sitting president.

If Clinton is in the Epstein files, show the world.

    Clinton was impeached for lying under oath, was 100% guilty and was acquitted by Democrats because they decided to ignore the law and use some newly invented “yes, but does anyone care?” legal theory.

      Have you followed the news lately? “yes, but does anyone care?” legal theory has been a thing for at least 10 years now.

      Lying under oath in a civil trial over matters that don’t conflict with official functions & duties of the president hardly qualifies as “high crimes and misdemeanors”, ie, serious offenses of office and in particular those that subvert our system of government.

      This is beside the point that Congress was willing to impeach over practically little before yet does nothing to impeach over an incredible volume of lies and subversion of our system of government now.
