I don’t recall all the details (would rather forget them), but wasn’t Monica’s relationship with Bubba completely consensual, i.e., he was not pressuring, harassing or assaulting her, and she was pursuing a relationship with him to some extent. Not to mention the fact that Monica seemed to care nothing about the fact that he was a married man, and had dreams about marrying Bubba herself.
It was too bad for Monica that the Whitewater investigation morphed into an investigation of Bubba’s sex life (I think because of Paula Jones), and Monica got caught in the net.
While it was a consensual affair, there was a gigantic imbalance of power. And she had been abused sexually as a teen. It gives people the wrong impression about adult life. She assumed what she was doing was normal adult behavior. She wasnt married. And he was sexually abusing his subordinate.
