Hillary Clinton: Bill Clinton's extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky wasn't an abuse of power

Hillary Clinton doesn't believe former President Bill Clinton's 1990s extramarital affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky constituted an abuse of power.

"No. No," Hillary Clinton said during an interview with "CBS Sunday Morning" when asked directly whether her husband took advantage of his position in 1995 to instigate sexual relations with Lewinsky when she was 22 years old.

I thought she was 19 when it started, and they always manipulated the number to 20 so she wasn’t a teenager. This says 22.

His taste in women is defective as hell.

[BobL]

A better question to ask the beast is why didn’t she ‘take care’ of Monica before everything blew up and threatened her career.

[onedoug]

Why isn’t adultery in the White House not an abuse of power?
Of course it is.

“i was given the assignment to deign a bullshit retraining program around it.”

The concerns you cite are not invalid. Bill Clinton got the Dem “get out of jail free” card, if he had been an R, he would have been run out of town on a rail. That is undeniable by any reasonable person.

It really was NOT OK that BC was getting a BJ in the Oval office from an intern. All on OUR DIME. NOT OK.

[bgill]

Please, when can we hear the last of all three of them.

[EdnaMode]

What was it then?

[sodpoodle]

Checked Wiki for Monica’s family background; since we have never heard from her parents during or since her involvement with Clinton.

Very prominent and respected Jewish parentage; maternal and paternal.

“Thank God a million times over this evil hag was not elected president.”

A millions AMENS to what you said!

God looks out for children, drunkards and the USA.

[BlueHorseShoe]

That is FANTASTIC!

[Seaplaner]

He was a supervisor, she was a subordinate. Textbook case of abuse of power. Would get any normal Government employee terminated and prosecuted.

Yes, and there is this angle, as well...

Did Mister Clinton get Ms. Lewinsky a nice, well-paying job in the pentagon (for which she had no quals)?

Would this not be trading money (a job) for sex?

Viola, another abuse of power.

[morphing libertarian]

never came close to saying it was. i explained why it WAS sexual harassment by laws Clinton enforced.

[dayglored]

> ...for the most prolific sexual predator who ever inhabited the Oval Office.

Nobody knows for sure, but I think that title still belongs to JFK.

[caww]

Bill Clinton set the bar very low for any future President regarding sexual behavior for all candidates running and in office..... Hillary has no room to make any judgment whatsoever. She after all enabled his behavior time and again.

You gotta like that the #MSM knows that the Clinton's own internal polling of themselves reveals that they damage the Democrat Party every single time they go on one of these sewer tours.

Cankles has to make $10 million a year minimum or she'll be forgotten (can't afford Huma & staff, private jets, sec, etc; and that's already happening. There are no men on Cankle's staff anymore.).

So it's like this - hey book companies/event firms/donors, pay me, Madame Cankles, to keep this sewer tour to a minimum or I'll be all over the news driving down your numbers.

And that's the kabuki from this article. CBS obliged with "Your husband is a larcenous old lech", and she says, "Oh, no no no yes. Now call your boyfriend at Suckaz Press and tell him 17 million advance on my next book, or I tour past election day."

[Amish with an attitude]

The woman is delusional, scary to think she was once secretary of state with security clearance.

[JBW1949]

LOL....I don’t care who is right or wrong about the topic...I’m just saying I have never, never in my life been drunk enough to hop Hillary’s bones, but with Monica, it wouldn’t take more than a couple of beers....

[Eleutheria5]

Hillary should shut up. But I’m glad she won’t. The more she says, the deeper the hole she digs under her feet.

[faithhopecharity]

Well, given how she’s incapable f shutting the F up and dying nice and peacefully—— I guess she can do less damage yakking about her husband’s various infidelities and peccadillos ——- than spewing forth more gibberish about America, politics, or economics.
