It is serious when Monica finds something hard to swallow.

Details for anyone who wants them:

After the expiration of the Ethics in Government Act in 1999, the Office of Independent Counsel was replaced with the office of Special Counsel, defined by regulation 28 CFR 600, which in turn is based on Congressional statute 28 USC 510.

I refuse to be a part of trashing this woman any longer. At 22 she had an ill conceived affair. True. But her punishment, the public shaming and decades of dirty jokes, was far more than she should have ever had to take.

It is shameful to still see people claiming she was a slut and a whore when all she did was what any man’s girlfriend does. And she was quite young.

She’s survived. She has perspective now. Her politics don’t matter. The media put her through more shame than most people could take, and she barely made it through. I can’t imagine. I feel terrible for her.

DNA is strong evidence to run with.

Seriously, if you guys here can’t do anything except slam this woman in each post here because of an affair she had years ago, you hurt FR. I least want to donate when I see a bunch of unforgiving sexist idiots. I’m probably not alone. If JR keeps allowing this kind of trashing someone who has socially paid their debt to society more than any of us would ever wish to, it could make his site look worse on the web.

Remember: she could have lied. This 23 year old woman chose to actually tell the truth. At all the peril telling the truth about any Clinton entails.

With half-a-million Twitter followers

I think you meant to say "with half a million twits following her".

Monicagate was proven true.

Russiagate was proven false.

Any questions, dear?

Which is why by now she should have learned to keep her mouth shut!

I have noticed that the phraseology, used by the MSM, is that Barr “claims” that Mueller cleared Trump, which suggests that the conclusion reached by Barr is merely one possible interpretation of what Mueller actually wrote.

If Monica had not kept the stained dress, had not told people she had the stained dress, she would have been killed.

In fact, a fellow White House intern the same age and body type as Monica, was killed only days later.

"Monica Lewinsky, the White House intern whose relationship with President Bill Clinton erupted into an impeachment scandal"

When you can't even get that part right.......

Isn’t it just the way. Leave it to some idiot to make a statement trying to compare the Clinton situation with this.

News flash....the one major difference between the two is that one had no evidence and other one was obvious as the whatever on your face.

No argument here. I can’t think of a bigger waste of life than following Monica Lewinsky on Twitter.

But apparently the population of a decent sized city does.

The only whore that she is these days is that of the publicity variety. I get that she made a mistake back in the day, but she also profited nicely from her experiences. Further, her tendency to opportunistically resurface to remind everyone of how she was "mistreated" has grown old.

DNA evidence makes it hard to pretend nothing happened, Monica. If they had Putins DNA on Trump's wallet or something, he'd be in some trouble. Bill, on the other hand, well, thans to you there was DNA. Don't blame Ken Starr for that.

Life lesson for you: next time you perform a lewinski on a big shot don't preserve the result for posterity. It's not like some future presidential library is going to ever want it.

I seem to recall that Clinton was convicted of perjury.

That's not what I recall. He 100% committed perjury, he claimed he had not engaged in sexual relations with Lewinsky under oath. Then that dress with his DNA on it showed up. Oops. The house voted to impeach him on charge of perjury and obstruction of justice but he was not convicted by the Senate and it never resulted in charges in any other venue.

Prior to the impeachment Clinton was trying to work some deal where he was censured by the congress but not impeached. My feeling was that such a move was not permitted in the constitution, congress has no authority to censure, only impeach. So impeach him. However, I didn't think that lying about having sex was something that should result in removal from office. Unpopular here, I know, but it didn't feel to me that was what impeachment was for. So I was in favor of impeaching him but not removing him. I couldn't stand Bill Clinton but didn't want to twist the constitution and the precedents just to spite him in his final two years in office.

Of course now the gloves off, no holds barred, frame him if ya gotta politics of the dems is on display in the case of Trump so in retrospect maybe we should have tossed Clinton out after all.
