On this day in 1998, President Bill Clinton becomes the first sitting president to testify before the Office of Independent Council as the subject of a grand-jury investigation.
The testimony came after a four-year investigation into Clinton and his wife Hillary’s alleged involvement in several scandals, including accusations of sexual harassment, potentially illegal real-estate deals and suspected “cronyism” involved in the firing of White House travel-agency personnel. The independent prosecutor, Kenneth Starr, then uncovered an affair between Clinton and a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky. When questioned about the affair, Clinton denied it, which led Starr to charge the president with perjury and obstruction of justice, which in turn prompted his testimony on August 17.

“I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinsky”
The pre determined decision to not remove this rapist from office served notice to the RAT’s and especially the Xlinton’s that the pubbies have no spine or balls at all and would allow the trampling of our Constitution that we have today. Had he been removed - we wouldn’t have Harry Reid, Obama nor Hillary today.
Do try to wiggle out of it. History will see you as Clinton's crumb.
Did they really say “Office of the Independent Council “?
I remember this so well. Rumor had it that Clinton had gotten red in the face and stormed out of the room. In actuality he was very cool. His lawyers bargained for only three hours of questions. He gave extremely long answers to the few questions he was asked, posed by the prosecutor/congressmen (?). He requested and was given time for at least one soft drink break. By the time they got to questions from the actual grand jurors, who knew the case well by then, the three hours were over. It sounds just like Hillary.
