Personally I do not celebrate.

This botched operation paved the way for future Presidents (most notably the current White Hut occupant) to misbehave and smash the Constitution in any way they wish.

Clinton taught them all that if you hunker down and go on offense you can survive even the worst of scandals. I have seen the change in attitude and tactics even down to the local level. That has NOT been a good thing for the body politic.

“Clinton taught them all that if you hunker down and go on offense you can survive even the worst of scandals.”

Agreed.

But Clinton had one major advantage during this period he used it fully.

The media.

They covered for him. They shielded him. They excused him.

In short, they did not properly attempt to cover the impeachment and trial. If they had, things could easily have been different.
