Let's put this in context:
August 17, 1998: President Bill Clinton becomes the first sitting president to testify before a grand jury investigating his conduct. After the questioning at the White House is finished, Clinton goes on national TV to admit he had an inappropriate relationship with Monica Lewinsky.
August 19, 1998: Word that Starr has requested and received a sample of Clinton's DNA becomes public.
August 20, 1998: Monica Lewinsky testifies before the grand jury for a second time.
Also:
December 12, 1998: The House Judiciary Committee approves a fourth and final article of impeachment against President Clinton, accusing him of making false statements in his answers to written questions from Congress. A Democratic proposal to censure Clinton instead goes down to defeat.
December 15, 1998: In a blow to White House hopes, 11 moderate House Republicans announce they will vote to impeach the president.
December 16, 1998: In a coordinated strike, U.S. and British forces attack Iraq in retaliation for its failure to cooperate with U.N. weapons inspectors. Because of the military action, House Republican leaders delay a planned impeachment debate and vote set to begin Thursday, December 17
Excellent background, again.
If only Clinton had known that the purpose of his raids was to get Osama--rather than to get Starr and Congress off his back. LOL!
