he did nothing, she brought up charges because of him running for president.

That's what's wrong now is no one knows what the truth is anymore.

first president to be impeached twice.

He is on trial for defaming the person who accused him of rape. I hope she wins and buries his ass in the financial damages, but he CAN NOT be put in jail for this the way he could if convicted of rape. Even if found guilty, this still won't count as a conviction on his record.

Soon it will be convicted even if it is a civil case. And can we just switch to calling him a sex offender then, not that rape isn’t ugly, but let’s push his followers outrage buttons for good measure.

...2002 if I recall correctly, he was summoned twice to appear at a court in Texas but both times it appears (from the case records I obtained from the court) that he & his attorneys ignored it & never showed up, & the case quietly went away. The woman was found dead from an allegedly "self-inflicted" gunshot wound a year later.

And I'm not sure anyone reported on it at the time, although Newsweek mentioned it years later in an article about all the presidents who have been accused of sexual misconduct.
