Clinton was impeached for lying to a Grand jury not texting a little girl. The only reason he wasn't removed was because the Democrats controlled the Senate.
The Democratic-controlled Congress ruled to allow Clinton to stay in office. There will be many disappointed Trump voters if he lets Hillary slide, especially after all the trouble her followers are now causing.
The impeachment of Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was initiated by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice, on December 19, 1998. The charges stemmed from his extramarital affair with former White House Intern Monica Lewinsky and his testimony about the affair during a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by Paula Jones. Clinton was subsequently acquitted of these charges by the Senate on February 12, 1999.[1] Two other impeachment articles – a second perjury charge and a charge of abuse of power – failed in the House. 44 Bill Clinton 3x4.jpg This article is part of a series about Bill Clinton Electoral history Political positions Governor of Arkansas Governorship 1992 Democratic primary President of the United States First term Campaign for the Presidency 1992 1st inauguration Presidency NAFTA Health Security Act 1994 midterm Economic policy Travelgate Whitewater AmeriCorps Dayton Agreement Policies [show] Second term Campaign 1996 2nd inauguration Operation Infinite Reach Bombing of Yugoslavia Balanced Budget Monica Lewinsky scandal Impeachment Post-Presidency Presidential Library Public image My Life Activities Clinton Foundation Clinton Bush Haiti Fund Signature of Bill Clinton.svg President of the United States v t e The Independent Counsel, Ken Starr, turned over documentation to the House Judiciary Committee.

That and the fact that Hillary is not in prison.
And there's your sign, it's a much different standard for ordinary individuals.
Bill Clinton was impeached and stayed in office.

Do a google search. There are plenty of disgraced republican politicians. Many were closet gays and involved with young boys.
