Of course he did.
Bill was the pioneer of “double-down, grit it out, and ride the lie through to the end....you can survive it.”
He has badly degraded our politics because all the others were watching, and they ALL do it now.
The Democrats all do it now. But the Republicans still immediately run to apologize (to Al Sharpton usually), then adopt the policies of the left as a show of contrition.
You nailed it.
BACKSTORY---when Pres Bill got lewinskied in the Oral Office, the first thing the cunning Clintons did was take a poll. The poll told them Billy had to stall for time, to lie for as long as he possibly could, before coming clean....... Read on.
=====================================================
The patented "Clinton-Saves-His-***- Act."
One Clinton lies .....
"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."
...... and the other one swears to it.

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."
Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 800,000 dollars.

"Incidentally Chelsea, did your kindly sensitive parents tell you the reason you were being hustled off (in that classic "smiling Clinton solidarity pose" on the vintage TIME cover?) Did mom and dad tell you daddy got a BJ in the Oval office? Did they explain the details of a BJ to you?
