Remind me what she needed immunity for. Is it illegal for a young White House intern to accept an invitation from the President of the United States to come into the Oval Office and give him a blow job? Offhand I can’t think of anything she’s known to have done that any prosecuting authority would even dream of pressing charges for.
No. And, that's not why Clinton was impeached. Clinton was impeached for lying under oath about the affair in a unrelated civil matter. It's my recollection that Lewinsky may have been in some criminal jeopardy for either lying to investors (which is a federal crime), or helping to mislead or obstruct investigators about the affair. Also, there was some speculation that her mother (name escapes) may have instructed and coached her to give misleading or inaccurate information in her grand jury testimony.
Whatever the reason(s) Lewisnky and her mother needed immunity, it was most certainly granted. After a bout of fire-the-attorney, Lewinsky finally settled on Plato Cocheris who negotiated both immunity agreements at the same time - Lewsinsky's cooperation with prosecutes (remember, up until that point, she was an uncooperative witness), was predicated entirely on her and her mother receiving immunity.
