Seventeen years ago on this very day in 1999, President Bill Clinton faced the United States senate to answer for charges of perjury in the Monica Lewinsky case.

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

Sure you didn't, Bill.

History remembers things differently:

Clinton impeachment trial begins

On January 7, 1999, the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, formally charged with lying under oath and obstructing justice, begins in the Senate. As instructed in Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution, Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist was sworn in to preside, and the senators were sworn in as jurors. Congress had only attempted to remove a president on one other occasion: the 1868 impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson, who incurred the Republican Party's wrath after he proposed a conservative Reconstruction plan.

Is it any wonder why Juanita Broaddrick came forward yesterday?

That still gets my goat that a President of the United States gets in front of world and states the now infamous: "I did not have blah blah blah..."

How disgraceful..how third world-ish...such a low-life...

Bill Clinton is, in reality, a serial sexual offender. He should be in jail

He continues to lie about it...he is s pathological liar.

He should have been removed from office...but the Senate did not have the will, or the honor to do its job.

At least the House impeached his sorry backside. He was then disbarred over his perjury and lies.

It is so revolting to see the dishonesty and the hypocrisy of so many. Politicians, DNC leaders, supposed woman leaders, Judges, people in the Justice Department, especially Hillary herself. That woman I just as bad. She used such a sicko to help her get power...and that's it. she will clearly do anything for power.

I pray God in Heaven to help us keep that power of the presidency away from her.

It is just sickening, pathetic...but also very dangerous.

I was recording it all on VHS back then.
No Computer until later,dial up on a separate line. ha! Bill Clinton is still a criminal and a liar.
Hillary's career with all her dirt, just continues.
She's on her second bid for the presidency with more scandal and lies under her pantsuit.
Possibly Two of the worse people of our time.
shameful and wrong.

Trump has begun asking Hillary the largely rhetorical question about how Bill Clinton and Bill Cosby are different.
For one thing, we don’t think her husband used drugs.
According to Slick Willie, in every case, when he appeared, these women immediately fell over on their backs, dropped their drawers, spread their legs and smiled at him.
He wasn’t clear if that was BEFORE or AFTER he smacked them in the mouth!

There should be a daily “Today in History” of Hillary’s scandals and during the general election...

‘On this day, Hillary bragged about helping a child rapist go free.’
