Hillary Clinton's trouble with truth: Bill Clinton's impeachment was never about sex

I was 11 years old when the impeachment process against former President Bill Clinton began, but the scurrilous details of his misbehavior did not go unnoticed. A slightly sanitized version of the unfolding drama is recorded in my school composition book from that time period.

Twenty years have passed, and Clinton has recovered from his near fall from grace with little effort — until now. With the #MeToo movement forcing America to re-examine Clinton’s misdeeds, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has begun an aggressive multi-pronged campaign of revisionist history about the events of the 1990s.

Clinton now claims that her husband never used his office inappropriately when conducting a sexual affair with an unpaid intern. At 22 years old, Monica Lewinsky “ was an adult,” Clinton says, as though this excuses the clear imbalance of power between the president of the United States and an intern. In the #MeToo climate, Clinton’s statement about her husband’s victim, who suffers from PTSD as a result of having her sexual history thrust into the national spotlight, is a gamble. On the Left, commentaters have seemed happy to gobble this statement up, deem it exculpatory, and disavow Lewinsky once more.
